Laney LA has designed HT Residence in California, USA.

This project is a private home for an environmental attorney, a digital security specialist and their two children. In a Los Angeles neighbourhood known for its traditional mansions, this 130 sqm residence begins with the conviction that less is more. The design ambition for this home was to challenge the suburban status quo by introducing a small, sustainable structure.

Leveraging a passive ventilation system, radiant floors, solar hot water panels, and a super-insulated roof, every decision for the HT Residence was considered to promote healthy rituals and environmentally sensitive living.

This home celebrates the artistic composition of architectural volumes. The simplicity of the exterior facade stands in contrast to the energy of the street. A variety of dense outdoor spaces provide opportunities to connect with nature and immerse oneself in the landscape – while the interior spaces are defined by soaring ceilings and a vibrant palette of carpentry and craftsmanship.

This project has been longlisted in the urban house category of Dezeen Awards 2022.
