About This Property
This contemporary home is one of two custom designs deemed the Twin
Houses by architects Predock-Frane in the coveted Pacific
Palisades' Marquez Knolls. The structure combines two classic
California typologies: hillside home and courtyard house. The three
story structure's sophisticated massing reflects the site's sloping
grade with split levels connected by sculptural stairs and a two
story atrium connecting the bottom two levels with the home's
central courtyard. The subtly angular home's stained wood siding
not only provides a cohesive exterior surface, but a 'rainscreen'
system that also acts as a passive solar system, improving the
home's thermal performance in warm and cool seasons. To enter, one
descends into a void-like entry vestibule that culminates in a
glass partition, which gives the first preview of the voluminous
social spaces. On the entry level is an en suite office (which
could be a fourth bedroom) and powder room. Down a series of steps
is the open living space, where a sculptural ceiling connects the
living, dining, and kitchen area. Fleetwood doors open this space
to the central lounging courtyard and verdant property beyond. A
towering, yet diaphanous bamboo grove on the downsloping south-side
of the property provides privacy, green views, and dappled light
into these spaces. Upstairs, the primary suite flows from the
bedroom up to the sitting area to the sea-view deck to the
cleverly-designed marble and frosted glass primary bathroom. An
entire wall of integrated wood closets connect the spaces. On the
lower level of the home, a comfortable den rests between the atrium
and a large deck overlooking the bamboo grove. On either side is a
serene en suite bedroom. A laundry room and bonus room, which could
be used as an exercise space, gallery, or playroom, also connect to
the den. The home is located near the Palisades Village between the
bluffs and the Santa Monica Mountains, close to hiking trails
including Leacock Trail. Predock-Frane Architects consisted of USC
School of Architecture Professors, Hadrian Predock and John Frane,
who while practicing together won awards including the national AIA
Honor Award for The Center of Gravity Foundation Hall in New
Mexico. Their Twin houses contribute to the architectural oeuvre of
the Pacific Palisades community, which also boasts homes by the
likes of Richard Neutra, Charles Moore, Ray Kappe and A. Quincy
Jones.
