The project reworks a 1990s split-level into a modern, family-focused retreat, pairing reflective materials with a calm, lake-ready palette. Inside and out, the composition balances open gathering zones with quieter corners for reading, working, and watching the light move across the lake.
Beverly Crest traces a steep Beverly Hills, CA, United States hillside with the confidence of a seasoned local.

House P02 unfolds as a low, linear house in Avola, Italy, where concrete, stone, and water organize daily life under decisive Mediterranean light.

The result is a rigorously composed home that ties structural clarity to the rhythms of outdoor living around its garden and water courts.

Small gestures in plan and material tune the complex to the climate while keeping the experience relaxed and legible.
