I wish I could have asked them about this project at Postopolis LA when the topic of existing site conditions was discussed, but I forgot . This project is more relevant to that topic, than the Hillside House because of the conceptual and perhaps historical context of the site.

I believe that if it weren’t for the existence of 2-4-6-8, the Sale House couldn’t really stand on it’s own from an aesthetic nor from a conceptual standpoint no matter what in-depth description the Architects gave it. The description is basically archi-jargon to say that the new house is there to pay homage to the existing by referring to it’s original colors (or some shade there of), probably used multiples of 2,4,6 & 8 for fenestration proportions. They should’ve just left the interiors white as the colors seem like a futile attempt to give the project more depth than is there.

This is a fantastically in-depth article about this project. You have done a great job clearly presenting the ideas that generated the Sale House. It was an engaging and fun project on which to work – we had a blast – except for having to win approval for some setback variations due to the old Morphosis project. Johnston Marklee is on their way to becoming one of the most important design firms in L.A.

I really admire the way interior colors are used. Very warm outcome.
