Tramonto Residence

Nestled in the foothills of the Pacific Palisades, the 17,000sf Tramonto Residence integrates the challenging topography through defined massing with its center rooted deeply into the terrain. The building's siting and orientation contends with the steep topography by terracing each volume into the natural contours, breaking up the building mass, and using its sub-grade structure to reinforce the hillside. The design exemplifies performative indoor/outdoor principles with natural lighting, passive ventilation, and shading strategies that add warmth and contrast to the material palette.
