Linda Pollari and Robert Somol, Architects
Mid-City Modern
950 South Highland Avenue, Hancock Park CA, 90036
Here on the edge of Miracle Mile in Hancock Park, the architects have created a deceptively tranquil oasis amidst the urban chaos. The shimmering, hundred-foot long corrugated metal wedge has its back to the street, providing an effective barrier to the mechanized world outside. Out front, two long ribbon windows turn the street scene into a moving picture show. In back, the hard-edged home embraces the lushly-landscaped garden. Sliding glass walls disappear and open the entire home to the yard where a kidney-shaped pool glows after dark, creating an intimate and private sanctuary. With an exceptionally open plan, two floating cores for storage and bathrooms provide visual separation between the spacious home office at one end and the luxurious master suite at the other. Natural wood and stacked stone offset polished concrete floors and stainless steel appliances. Published widely: Metropolitan Home, Sunset, Los Angeles
