MARIPOSA HOUSE - work by OTIIMA USA | Brininstool + Lynch | OTIIMA Much more than a Window

Nestled in a lush canyon at the base of the rugged Santa Monica mountains, the mid-century modern Mariposa House and its adjacent guest house underwent a dramatic, yet thoughtful, renovation.
Many of the materials used for this project were repurposed stone and wood from the existing structure, in an effort to reduce landfill waste and reduce the need for transportation of new material.
OTIIMA Expansive glass walls look out onto the site’s carefully landscaped gardens and unobstructed views of the mountains beyond, while plantings and natural topography provide absolute privacy from surrounding properties. Clean lines and a carefully considered material palette provide calming interior spaces for living and entertaining.
This effortless transition between interior and exterior is a hallmark of the southern California Modernist movement, and the Mariposa House is an exemplar of the type.
