The private residence ARB sits on the ridge of a steep hillside in Benedict Canyon in Beverly Hills CA. With an amazing 270 degree view of the canyon the project balances itself on this ridge with a simple objective: to reduce the appearance of its mass and create a private indoor-outdoor living experience, unique to the climate that Los Angeles provides. To do so, the project features a partially submerged basement and a 110 feet long architectural mass on top with all private bedrooms, encapsulating an open living zone in the middle that extends into a dramatic, cantilevering deck and pool.
