Panel House - Modern House Design and Architecture

The house is located on 28 x 89 foot lot on the Ocean Front Walk in Venice Beach.

The space between the tapered walls is used for pivot windows, which allow for the modulation of the natural prevailing breezes through the house.

The building’s skin is made of pre-fabricated panels, typically used for walk in refrigeration buildings. The panels are manufactured out of 6-inch thick foam skinned with thin sheet aluminum that is painted with a Kynar paint finish. The 6-inch thick panels are 30 inches wide x 30 feet tall and weigh less than a hundred pounds each. The panels are designed with a dull aluminum finish creating a surface that has a subtle reflectivity of the changing colors of the sky and sunsets. Designed by Studio of Environmental Architecture.
