Czech Design Feature on Three Step House by Apurva Pande

Loved seeing this feature on the design ideas behind one of our favorites — The Three Step House

Najít v téměř v centru Los Angeles nezastavěnou parcelu je skoro zázrak, a klienti si svého štěstí byli dobře vědomi. Přeci jen, skoro 300 metrů čtverečních půdy uprostřed čtvrti Silverlake, by developeři klidně vyvažovali zlatem. Právě sem, do příkrého svahu, architekti „zasadili“ netradičně pojaté obydlí.

TOY LOFT GETS SOME LOVE FROM LATIMES by Apurva Pande

So happy to see one of our really special loft projects — Toy Loft — get a feature from the Los Angeles Times. Loved vicariously revisiting the design process while reading the story.

After purchasing, Terence and Yu crafted their vision for the loft on several Pinterest boards and scoured the internet for Los Angeles loft conversions. There they found CHA:COL, the firm of award-winning husband-and-wife architecture team Apurva Pande and Chinmaya Misra, who have a reputation for innovative loft design.

Three Step House Features in Dwell by Apurva Pande

Excited to see our first ground-up residential project on a unique site in Silverlake get this nice feature from Dwell

Apurva Pande and Chinmaya Misra, the husband-and-wife duo behind CHA:COL, responded to the owners’ needs with a three-step dwelling, where each level precisely addresses the topography to avoid the need for elevators or excessive switchback stairs.
