Materials can have such a huge impact on an architect’s vision. Fortunately, we live in a time where companies are constantly pushing the envelope to develop exciting new products that are aesthetically pleasing and also environmentally responsible.
One such company is Custom-Bilt Metals in Irving Texas. Custom-Bilt manufactures metal roofing and gutter systems that are functional, dramatic and environmentally friendly. We used their materials for the Vision House LA project in Pacific Palisades, which worked perfectly with the clean, modern design while adhering to the strict LEED standards required for this project.

People simply love the “Modern Farmhouse” aesthetic for it’s marriage of simple, contemporary design mixed with casual comfort and rustic charm. This style suits the laid back Southern California lifestyle perfectly, so we thought it appropriate when one of our modern farmhouses in Brentwood was featured in an article for California Home+Design. This spacious, 5 bedroom, 5.5 bath home has all the comforts the word “farmhouse” conjures up, but boasts all the style expected with the $5.9 million price tag. The interior features a cool, neutral palette, large furnishings, and plank floors, all of which seem to invite you to kick off your shoes and enjoy the canyon views!

It’s that time of year when busy families get even busier getting their kids to and from school, and school related activities. This is something that is greatly considered when designing a custom home for clients with school aged children. The mud room continues to be a parent pleaser, despite the lack of mud, or even much rain to deal with here in Southern California! While we don’t have cold weather gear or dirty boots to contend with, the Mud Room is really the perfect go-to place for the family to unload laptops, backpacks, books, shoes, jackets and sporting equipment constantly being schlepped to and from the home. Having a dedicated area in the home such as a Mud Room can help keep things more organized, and mess to a minimum, something all families with busy lifestyles can appreciate! Check out a few of our Southern California mudrooms:

“Modern Classic”, designed by Karen Putman of P2 Design, was featured in the Fall 2014 Los Angeles issue of Luxe Magazine.
Written by Liz Arnold, Photography by Karyn Millet
Modern Classic – A Los Angeles residence reflects the traditional sensibility of its neighborhood while revealing a contemporary and inviting interior.
Although a couple’s newly built house might look right at home alongside the traditional 1930s and ‘40s homes of its Little Holmby neighborhood in Los Angeles, it was designed decisively with a modern-day lifestyle in mind.
P2 Design was hand-picked by one of the writers to be featured in an editorial ideabook on the homepage of Houzz: “10 Ways to Bring Charm to Your Home’s Exterior”. This custom home in Brentwood has been frequently recognized for its charismatic features including the welcoming porch, Colonial style, architectural details, inspirational colors, and charm.

“Fashionable, Sophisticated Las Vegas Home” designed by Karen E. Putman while an Associate with Scheurer Architects was featured in the September 2014 issue of Traditional Home.
Think about fashion in Las Vegas and your head fills with images of showgirls in sequins and feathered headdresses, gamblers in boastful prints, and club-hoppers in lamé cocktail dresses. Excess—and lots of it. But fashion enthusiast Lori Scalleat drew on a different style vision for her suburban dream home: the custom-tailored look. Luxurious but restrained, sophisticated, and comfortable. “Tempered Vegas,” in the words of Tim Clarke, the Santa Monica-based designer who crafted the interiors to suit Lori and her husband, real estate developer Jeff LaPour.
“In Las Vegas, appearance oftentimes trumps comfort, and we didn’t want that,” Lori says. “We are not glitzy people, and wanted a home that was casual, but with richness and authenticity. And it needed to be classic and age well, not trendy.”

A home designed by P2 Design on Skyewiay Road in Brentwood was featured on the blog REMODELISTA 12/05/13: “The 8 Best Exterior Door Paints”
The 8 Best Red Exterior House Paints by Meredith Swinehart
Issue 101 • The Early Bird
Red is a great house color, but only the right red will do. We searched high and low for the best exterior red paint colors, only to learn that the range of “right” reds is surprisingly wide. From traditional farmhouse reds imbued with orange to pink-inflected shades for bold front doors, a good red is sophisticated and versatile.
Top row, left to right: Benjamin Moore Cottage Red; Benjamin Moore Million Dollar Red; Farrow & Ball Rectory Red; and Farrow & Ball Blazer. Bottom row: Benjamin Moore Caliente; Sherwin-Williams Solid Color Stain in Cape Cod Red; Benjamin Moore Heritage Red; and Cabot Solid Stains Barn Red.
P2 Design of LA used Benjamin Moore’s Caliente on this Brentwood house, spotted on Delorme Designs.
Swatch photographs by Meredith Swinehart. Photography shot with the Canon EOS 70D digital SLR camera, with Dual Pixel AF technology and built-in Wi-Fi.
Every once on awhile you get to meet a cultural icon in your profession. I have been fortunate to have met many, yet one in particular holds a fond place in my heart. As architectural students in the 1980’s, we admired Tadao Ando, Aldo Rossi, Richard Meier, Michael Graves, Alvar Alto, Philippe Starke, Frank Gehry, Norman Foster, Richard Rogers, Hans Hollien…….and the list goes on……my apologies to those I missed.
When Tadao Ando came to Los Angeles back in 2011 to publicize his book of Complete Works 1975-2012, my friend Billy Lehman invited me to join him and his wife, writer Dana Goodyear-Lehman, to meet Mr. Ando at the Taschen book store in Beverly Hills. One would think I was a giddy child on their first trip to Disneyland. I was thrilled! I stood nearby unable to maintain my cool composure as Tadao not only personally addressed and signed my book, but included a sketch. As one can see in the photo, I was grinning ear-to-ear as I thanked him profusely.
Almost as fulfilling as that experience was the meal we ate afterwards at the original Chego, where Roy Choi is known for his mix-culture rice bowls and a “fount of culinary postmodernism”. The Chubby Pork Belly rice bowl with crunchy, juicy chunks of caramelized pork belly rubbed with the Korean spice paste gochujang was absolutely delicious. The fusion of flavors and spices of all the dishes we sampled were phenomenal. I highly recommend it!

Modern Classic – A Los Angeles residence reflects the traditional sensibility of its neighborhood while revealing a contemporary and inviting interior.

“In Las Vegas, appearance oftentimes trumps comfort, and we didn’t want that,” Lori says. “We are not glitzy people, and wanted a home that was casual, but with richness and authenticity. And it needed to be classic and age well, not trendy.”

The 8 Best Red Exterior House Paints by Meredith Swinehart
Issue 101 • The Early Bird
Red is a great house color, but only the right red will do. We searched high and low for the best exterior red paint colors, only to learn that the range of “right” reds is surprisingly wide. From traditional farmhouse reds imbued with orange to pink-inflected shades for bold front doors, a good red is sophisticated and versatile.
Top row, left to right: Benjamin Moore Cottage Red; Benjamin Moore Million Dollar Red; Farrow & Ball Rectory Red; and Farrow & Ball Blazer. Bottom row: Benjamin Moore Caliente; Sherwin-Williams Solid Color Stain in Cape Cod Red; Benjamin Moore Heritage Red; and Cabot Solid Stains Barn Red.
P2 Design of LA used Benjamin Moore’s Caliente on this Brentwood house, spotted on Delorme Designs.

Tadao Ando
/0 Comments/in News /by StaffWhen Tadao Ando came to Los Angeles back in 2011 to publicize his book of Complete Works 1975-2012, my friend Billy Lehman invited me to join him and his wife, writer Dana Goodyear-Lehman, to meet Mr. Ando at the Taschen book store in Beverly Hills. One would think I was a giddy child on their first trip to Disneyland. I was thrilled! I stood nearby unable to maintain my cool composure as Tadao not only personally addressed and signed my book, but included a sketch. As one can see in the photo, I was grinning ear-to-ear as I thanked him profusely.
Almost as fulfilling as that experience was the meal we ate afterwards at the original Chego, where Roy Choi is known for his mix-culture rice bowls and a “fount of culinary postmodernism”. The Chubby Pork Belly rice bowl with crunchy, juicy chunks of caramelized pork belly rubbed with the Korean spice paste gochujang was absolutely delicious. The fusion of flavors and spices of all the dishes we sampled were phenomenal. I highly recommend it!
