Silver Lake House, the home of Jeffrey Allsbrook and Silvia Kuhle, partners of Standard Architecture | Design, may be recently refreshed, but it is organically anchored to its site, born out of lengthy, extensive research and a deep knowledge of the California region's rich legacy of modernist architecture.
'We live in the Silver Lake neighbourhood near early modernist homes designed by Richard Neutra, Rudolph Schindler and others,' says Allsbrook of their inspiration. 'The materiality, the deep overhangs, and the glass walls that let the outdoors in reflect a similar concept of living in the hills of Los Angeles.'
