The California House by GLUCK+ is located on a steep plot of land in the Hollywood Hills. It offers its dwellers a panoramic view of the Hollywood sign and the mountains. The architectural firm was tasked with designing a house without disrupting the area's natural landscape as much as possible.
As a result, the Californian home boasts a lower floor built into the hillside with a green roof offering space for outdoor activities. The building's upper level is the show-stopper. It features a glass wall pavilion structure and a floating, angular roof. The open pavilion floor contains the kitchen, living room, and dining room. In addition, it contains three wooden boxes that house the closets, fireplace, bathroom, and more.
