This project is a commission to design a second dwelling for an existing property in Valley Village, California. Though the new zoning laws make the project permissible, several permutations were designed to make it viable. In the end a simple rectangular massing was bent and thickened to accommodate the detached second dwelling setback, the adjacent hillside setback and the solar orientation. The resultant form, curved and canted, is to be clad in a building material first developed to cover skateboard ramps. Made from recycled paper, it is maintenance free and will be the first curved application on a building facade.
