Figueroa Residence |
Long Beach, CA 1,900 square feet Because it sits on a tiny lot within a dense residential district less than three blocks from the beach, the owner wanted her three bedroom home to emphasize the quality of space instead of the size of the house. Profeta Royalty created a wide open feeling by increasing the ceiling height from the standard eight feet to ten. In the main living space, the volume extends through the second floor to a ring of clerestory windows which flood the house with natural light. The entire ground floor is virtually one open room containing the living room, dining room, and kitchen. To further expand the living space, the line between inside and out is blurred by the use of a movable glass wall at the dining room. |
