Step-Down House  
Venice, CA

The step-down house is a new prototype for single-story ranch style homes in Los Angeles, California.  This very open plan home pulls light in from all angles, yet preserves it’s privacy at street level.





Main spaces are located along a central corridor, as more private programs are located in the extremities.


Lap Pool




This sunken villa is less bunker, and more courtyard in nature, as several exterior terraces bring light into each space.

Master Bedroom



Like a sunken fortress or sanctuary, this home is private, yet bathed in natural light.
