PROJECT DESCRIPTION

An extension of 1150 square feet to a family home that is almost square in plan, TXS_5 takes cues from Schindler’s use of sectional L’s. The space flows horizontally from the existing kitchen into the living room, then up the open stairwell. The exposed glulam beans and plywood on ceilings give a warm, constructivist feel to the space demonstrating this marriage of industrial materials with life + function.

CHALLENGE

The owner had a vision to smoothly transition the modern living room into to the luscious outdoor surroundings. The architect needed to achieve open space with a California modern feel.

SOLUTION

LaCantina Doors open wide to allow interweaving of outdoor and indoor space characterizing a uniquely California way of living. There is breezy informality that takes you from the highly polished concrete floors inside to the slightly more textured concrete of the patio. Blending the indoor and outdoor living room with the same concrete floor surface extends the perceptual size of the room.
