#RESIDENTIAL ARCHITECTURE PROJECTS
tighe architecture defines montee karp malibu residence with subtly faceted exterior
‘montee karp residence’, a reinterpreted hillside home in malibu is designed by los angeles based tighe architecture.
gazing over the pacific ocean, the 2200 sq ft home has been given a transformation where the previous post-and-beam nature has been rearranged and given an overall contemporary lift. internally, the spaces express a minimalistic approach and by integrating display niches and subtle natural lighting, the residence instills a gallery-like typology to exhibit and enhance the client’s private collection of contemporary art.
with large windows that capture views of the landscape and beyong, the contemporarycantilevered staircase lead up to the second level where each tread has been carefully accentuated by a laser-cut pattern creating a changing shadow depending on the time of day. a prominent feature of the californian home is the faceted surfaces of the exterior defined by the geometry of the roof. the form of the building’s front façade continues and translates into the interior spaces- resulting in the dematerialization of the roof, wall and floor planes.
