Carla Ridge | Montalba Architects

Overlooking Beverly Hills, this single-story residence offers unique views of the hillside, valley and expanding city beyond. The home seamlessly blends interior and exterior spaces by intertwining several courtyards to offer moments of environmental reprieve. Overlapping horizontal rooflines with extended overhangs expand spatial volumes while a higher roof 'propped up' with clerestory windows allow more natural light at the core of the building. A layered and textured material palette is combined with clean, modern lines throughout the home to create subtle warmth and movement throughout the expansive spaces. Rear views are maximized by several outdoor living spaces and a curved pool while an island of planting creates privacy between the master suite deck and the rest of the rear yard.
