Located on a tiered lot in a hillside subdivision, the Meyerhofer Residence (along with its surrounding landscape) is the complete redesign of a 50s-era post and beam home. The residence weaves together interior and exterior living spaces by extending the second story and setting the house deeper into the hillside to expand the usable grade at the main level. Behind the carport a basement was added to create much needed storage and expand the functionality of the lowest level of the site. A composite of concrete, steel, glass, stone and wood—the home elegantly asserts itself while remaining sensitive to the view corridors of its neighbors and the landscape of the nearby San Gabriel Mountains.
