Description of Washington Street Residence :
This home for an art collecting family was shaped by two primary design parameters: make no visible alterations to the house’s traditional front facade while transforming the interior into a modern open living space that integrates the client’s extensive collection of contemporary art. Within this home, a critical density of contemporary art makes one question the normal “stuff” of houses – switches, walls, doors, sinks. The design seeks to create a heightened level of engagement by blurring the line between normal living and art experience.
The main living floor retains all of the original uses, but opens up the physical relationships between the rooms. Living, dining and entry at the front interlink with family, kitchen and informal dining at the back. The front suite of rooms are rendered more purely, with the normal house tectonics – windows, doors, light switches, outlets – concealed or obscured. The rear suite is completely open to one another while retaining some more recognizable elements of home.

Description from Architect :
The proportions of this house have been dictated by the restraints of the site. A flood level two meters above natural ground and the 405m2 area of the site meant that this home had to be developed across three levels. Living occurs on the mid level which opens to both a rear deck and central courtyard deck to provide a connection to the outdoors where close proximity to the landscaped yard was not possible. Opening up each of the floors with voids created a transparency unexpected in a building of three levels and ensured that a reference for scale was maintained. The transparency was further extended by the ability to glaze the entire front facade due to the privacy provided by the extra height from the street. This not only presents the home with extensive natural light, but exploits the park view across the street and maintains surveillance to the surrounding neighbourhood. Materials were selected to ensure generally low maintenance with unpainted block work and metal sheet cladding making up the majority of the exterior. Maintainable materials were used to soften the overall feel and texture of the house and to provide context to the general nature of the surrounding architecture

Description from the Architect :
The Rose House was designed by architects Conrad Buff, Dennis Straub, and Don Hensman in 1963 for Helen Rose, a well-known Hollywood costume designer. In 1999, owner and interior designer Carole Katleman approached the firm to restore the home to its original design, while undertaking sensitive upgrades to the house to accommodate a contemporary lifestyle.
In keeping with the house’s modern character, emphasis was placed on well-crafted details and honest simplicity in design. From the main entry, the view unfolds through transparent glass walls, across the pool terrace, towards the Santa Monica Mountains.
