LAUREL WAY

Beverly Hills, California

One aesthetic idea driving the creation of Laurel Way was that each room or space should be a jewel box, an individually conceived, precisely functional and dramatic sensory experience with its own depth of architecture.

비버리힐즈의 꿈의 저택    로렐 웨이의 창조를 추진하는 한 가지 미학적 아이디어는 각각의 방이나 공간은 보석상자여야 하며, 서로 각각 개별적으로 구상되고, 정밀하게 기능하며, 극적인 감각적 경험이 되어야 한다는 것이다. 구성의 중심에는 마크 휘플의 특징적인 요소들이 많이 있는데 하나는 질감의 사용이다; 하나는 거친 돌 옆에 매끈매끈하고, 유리에는 풍부한 나무 판넬, 그리고 물을 반사하는 유리가 있다. 집에 들어갈 때 즉각적인 경험은 벽이 패널로 떠다니는 것처럼 보이고 당신은 항상 실외와 연결되어 있다는 느낌인 본질적인 무중력이다. 이는 빔, 지지 패널, 타일 및 조준선의 정확한 대칭을 고수하고 벽이 천장을 충족하지 못하므로 효과 달성에 도움이 되는 0.5인치 간격이 남는다. 이 요소들은 집의 수평선과 수직선을 따라 올라가는 반면, 움직임과 곡선은 집을 둘러싸고 있는 세 층의 녹지와 두 개의 물길에서 나오는 것으로, 푸른 캘리포니아 하늘에 떠 있는 섬처럼 보인다. 해자(성 주위에 둘러 판 못)와 같은 물의 주변은 성공적인 예술적 영감 그 이상이다. 그것은 어떤 식으로든 시야를 방해하지 않고 보호 경계선의 느낌을 더한다. 내부에서도 볼 수 있는 혁신적인 워터 기능을 제공하면서 디자인 전체에 매우 드라마틱한 역동성을 더했다. 황기철 콘페이퍼 에디터 Ki Chul Hwang Conpaper editor curator

Central to the composition are many of Marc Whipple’s signature elements, one being the use of texture; smooth next to rough stone, rich wooden panels against glass, and glass reflecting water. The immediate experience upon entering the house is its inherent weightlessness – the sense that the walls appear to float as panels and you are always connected to the outdoors. This is achieved with adherence to precise symmetry of beams, support panels, tiles, and sightlines, and also that walls do not meet the ceilings – a half-inch gap is left that helps achieve the effect.

 

These elements play up the horizontals and verticals of the house while movement and curves come from the three tiers of greenery and two water channels that surround the house giving it the look of an island floating against the blue California sky.

The moat-like water surround is more than a successful artistic inspiration; it adds the feeling of a protective boundary without obstructing the views in any way. It also provided an innovative water feature visible from the interior while adding a highly dramatic dynamic to the entire design.

The front entry steps lead to a 14 ft. wood pivot door flanked entirely by glass, and then into the main floor foyer. To the left, a section of glass flooring reveals a wine room below with storage for 1000 bottles, and cantilevered wenge wood stairs float upward to the bedrooms.

The living and dining areas are a study in chocolate and creamy whites carried through to the exterior surfaces

achieved with Texston’s Lime based plaster, offset by rough split-faced stone and dark wenge wood. Lift and Slide German made Schuco windows and doors are state of the art offering dependable operation and drainage as well as thermal efficiency summer and winter. Glossy kitchen cabinets were custom designed and imported from Italy.

“Zero edge” and “ floating” themes are echoed in the smallest details; kitchen cooktop venting is flush to ceiling. With no use of molding all lines are visible, every element must be perfectly square and aligned. Minotii, Maxalto and B&B Italia furniture was selected or custom made for each living space.

The main powder room’s motorized sliding glass door opens up to a vanity and white glass rectangular column – the sink. A wall of small, mirrored black tiles, reflect a single chrome vertical water pipe suspended over custom made sink.

The Master/Mistress Suite, secluded on the top floor, opens to an expansive terrace with a Jacuzzi tub, areas for sunning and relaxing and enjoying the night-lights of the city by the soft light of an18 foot fire feature. Inside, glass walls provide sunshine and views by day, along with a sleek yet warm low-rise Minotti Moore bed for nighttime.

Evening activities continue aided by a 60” glass fireplace, 65” television against coplanar lacquer doors which open to a wet bar. For the morning routine, the Master Bath provides a freestanding tub along with Antonio Lupi sinks and vanities, closets of Italian cabinetry with separate shoe storage.

This project emphasizes indoor / outdoor living throughout. The “moat” flows along to the entertainment area and ends at a zero edge Infinity Pool and Jacuzzi. PebbleFina, a finish laced with mica gives the pool its extra shimmer.

Rimless construction of the pool and spa pulls the gaze to the horizon…a perfect mirror imbedded in the landscape. Fire and water, Whipple Russell Architects staples, are here in abundance, with flame features throughout, near the pool, above on the master terrace, on the kitchen terrace and within the entry water feature.

Other specialty features include a roomy home theater with a fully equipped wet bar, hidden fabric covered sound panels, plush couches and leather chairs. Push of a button lights down, curtains open, it’s show time. Behind the screen is a window onto a Zen garden enclosure.

A home automation system is fully integrated into the entire property; heating and air, water and fire features, outdoor landscape lighting, and electronic window shades are activated with the touch of supplied iPads and iPods from anywhere in the house – or from your iPhone from anywhere in the world. It is the most up to date automation system using Basalte switches that take Creston systems to a whole new level.

With the use of glass walls, the 5-car garage takes on the look of a classic auto showroom. Above it, accessible either by a walkway off the main house or privately though a glass enclosed spiral staircase, the spacious 2 bedroom guest house includes surround sound, television, writing studio, gym, and bar. Guests can enjoy their private deck and fire-pit, a view of the putting green, and of course the Pacific Ocean.
