Painted in subtle gradiations from white to gray, the striped shadows of the board-and-battens shift throughout the day. The exterior cladding of the house is custom-made, a play on board-and-batten siding organized into patterns that suggest varied depth and texture. ADU’s are typically built adjacent to existing houses in this case the ADU is uniquely integrated into the massing of the house. A private two-car garage or workspace makes up the ground floor.Īn accessory dwelling unit (ADU) is incorporated into the stack at the second level between the garage and the upper levels. The upper fourth level features three bedrooms, with the master and en suite bathroom organized across the front of the house.
The walls of each room curve at the center in a series of tangent arcs that blend the individual spaces while carefully opening views through the house.Ī central stair connects the living spaces to a rear dining patio and yard that overlook the house and mountains beyond. The primary living spaces at the third level (dining, kitchen, living, den) are organized into a simple grid of four rooms. Working with difficult site constraints is central to the design of this house unlike conventional hillside homes that appear to have been placed atop the slope, this house is embedded into it, creating a much closer relationship to the landscape. Stack House is a newly built 2,207-square-foot residence designed and developed by award-winning LA and NY-based architecture office FreelandBuck.Ĭomprised of four stories notched into a sloping hillside, this vertical house uses the subtle rotation of each room to create seamless indoor-outdoor spaces at every floor, each with unique and unobstructed views to the San Gabriel mountains.
