Fun. Achieving this idea, Abramson Teiger Architects proposed a presidence with such childbrain concept situated in Los Angels, California in the heart of he United States, making a mark of the firm, the Kelly Residence. With the concept of precedent and its function still intact, the house is divided into two - lower floor which is mainly for the public area, and the upper floor which is otherwise, the public area. Another partition being drawn is one side as a children's and another parents'. Claimed that there is a connection bridge that divides two worlds at which the division protect each institution privacy and sound control, the apparent separation makes a definition of family togetherness unattainable.
Adding another concept of partition into the general idea, the general design for the house is divided into four 'boxes', as quoted often, where within these boxes a part is missing and being replaced with panels of wood which are extruded upwards from the first floor.
The simplicity of boxes is being challenged with the house's complexity of details and integration of shapes. Seem simple enough, the house looks like a 3 year old stacking lego on top of each other, it gives a sense of maturity and suave. The design is playful, lovable and splashed with basic colours of black, white, and grey, it dodges from being utterly ridiculous given the simplistic shape.
With the rave of fearing the Earth to be dead and humanity will drown in melted ice from South and North Pole, the house uses features that promotes green living, which supposedly can save mankind from eternal doom by not thinning a small percentage area of ozone that has already been known to being nearly extinct, such as photovoltaic cells on flat roofs and energy saving appliances. As an addition of being green, the house tries to attain its greenness by having artificial lawn, a feature that does not seem superficial at all, as it claimed to be.
