Hollywood Duplex

 



Completed 1987

The Hollywood Duplex consists of two separate 1800 square foot units set into a triangular hillside site. Appearing as twin towers, each unit provides working and living spaces above a garage. Services - kitchens and baths - are housed behind in smaller, barrel-vaulted buildings joined to the towers by transparent staircase enclosures. The separation of the units creates outdoor spaces for public entrances and private patios and allows the natural landscape to cascade down to the street. The duplex units are 1,800-sq. ft. each and garages are excavated into the hill.
