Modern Hillside House, Nakahouse by XTEN Architecture
The modern hillside house, Nakahouse by XTEN Architecture, is located on a West facing ridge in the Hollywood Hills. This modern house was built upon the foundations of a 60’s hillside home that has been demolished. The Nakahouse features black and white and minimalist interior.
From the Architects:
The interior was completely reconfigured however, and the exterior was opened up to the hillside views and the natural beauty of the surroundings.
A large terrace was added to link the kitchen/ dining area with the living room, with a steel stair leading to a rooftop sundeck.
Terraces were also added to the bedroom wing and the upper master bedroom suite to extend the interior spaces through floor to ceiling glass sliding panels that disappear into adjacent walls when open.
The exterior walls are finished in a smooth black Meoded ventetian plaster system, designed to render the building as a singular sculptural object set within the lush natural setting. More
