INFO:

The house is a design proposal for a German product designer living in Los Angeles, California. The site is located directly at the Ocean front in Venice beach.  The design incorporates a two storey appartment, an additional single appartment, a pool and a roof deck. The site is extremly narrow and only accessible from the front and back.

The Ocean front walk is also known as the architects row, because of its wide range of architectural styles and features. One of the most important things in this area is its psychological system: One of the main goals was to develope a balanced design between private and public for the nagasaki schubert house.

Looking down along the ocean front walk, no building is stands out of the mass. The idea to have something tilting out into the walkway, to be a recognizable feature and stand out of the standard building cut line, emerged early. Something that gives the building an attractive edge, that makes it visible and recognizable from a distance. A spacial feature that makes this specific building unique. A sign, a commercial, creating an event to the visitor of venice beach.
