Week talking about the influences of mid-century architect Vladimir Ossipoff on his career and work. Warner grew up on Hawaii’s Big Island attending Waimea’s Hawaii Preparatory Academy school which was designed by Ossipoff. Little did he know that the building would embed itself into his subconscious, and become a key reference in his future designs as an architect.
The Kua Bay Residence, pictured above, is a key reference point for the talk. Located on the rugged Hawaiian coastline, the house was built to blend into the landscape and create a sequenced transition from mountain to sea. Simple, unadorned materials include basalt, wood and steel used for both inside and out. Architecture and nature meet across the design. A living roof has been renaturalised with lava rock and native grasses, and an infinity-edge pool merges living with the ocean and sky.
Lautner Lecture Series – The Restoration of The Garcia House, 15 February, The Lautner Compound, 67710 San Antonio Street, Desert Hot Springs, CA 92240Photography by Jose Manuel AlordaArchitect Richard Beard is a San Francisco based architect with projects across Northern California including Napa County, Caramel Valley, Sonoma, and recently in Palm Springs. ‘Mid-century modern homes uniquely embrace a connection to the outdoors in a way not seen before 1950,’ says Beard.
Beard’s task was to reimagine the house for a modern family, while preserving the original spirit of the house. ‘As part of the renovation we developed a series of slot views into the atrium, that gave connection without losing the original containment. Esherick’s use of vertical proportion, long a hallmark of his compositions, was here, and the use of the tall, vertical rough sawn painted wood interior boards was really effective, particularly with the skylights.
