Spectral Bridge House / Ehrlich Yanai Rhee Chaney Architects

Valeria Silva — Sat, 25 Feb 2023 13:00:00 +0000

A unique collaboration between the architects and an internationally known artist, this house could be called “a vessel for living and art.” The artist, Johannes Girardoni, creates site-specific projects that explore connections between art, design, technology, and architecture. For this site, a narrow lot in an eclectic urban neighborhood about a mile from the beach, he wanted to build a home that would also be an immersive art experience.

Kingsland Residence is unique since it is the family residence of Takashi Yanai and Patti Rhee, both partners at EYRC. Yanai was born in Japan, and raised in California. For many years, he lived in Japan and served as the editor of GA Houses. He is known for his minimal aesthetic which reflects tenets of both Californian and Japanese modernism.

Valeria Silva — Sat, 11 Feb 2023 19:00:00 +0000

Far from the glitz and glitter of Hollywood, Ehrlich Yanai Rhee Chaney designed this Los Angeles home for a half-Taiwanese, half-Chinese family seeking rest and peace. The busy couple—both are attorneys—and their two children who live in this house in Santa Monica, California, had a straightforward yet ambitious brief for the EYRC Architects team: They wanted “a place to get away from it all”.

Designed for a young couple, the 5,000 sf home and 1,700 sf back house sit on a flat 21,000 sf lot in a 1920’s Palo Alto neighborhood. The architecture is a study in strong simple composition and highly refined materiality with an emphasis on craft. The massing defines solid and void, captures natural light, and connects the indoors with the landscape, seeking to ‘experience the outdoors from within.’

Pomona College Student Housing / Ehrlich Yanai Rhee Chaney Architects

Rayen Sagredo — Tue, 02 Jan 2018 15:00:00 +0000

This LEED Platinum certified project was the first student residence hall in California to receive such a rating. The award-winning project consists of two residence halls totaling 81,000 sf, housing 150 students in single bedroom, suite style living units. The North hall houses 73 beds; the South hall houses 77. Both buildings are 2 and 3 stories. The project also includes the headquarters for the campus Outdoor Action program and administration offices for the Campus Sustainability department both located on the ground floor of the South hall in addition to an underground 175 car parking garage with a natural turf field above located directly below the North hall

Blue Sail / Ehrlich Yanai Rhee Chaney Architect

Cristobal Rojas — Tue, 05 Dec 2017 11:00:00 +0000

Situated on a sloping hillside with ocean views in a typical residential neighborhood, this project was an extensive renovation of an uninspired house that failed to take advantage of the obvious assets of the property: the views. Although no square footage was added, the interior spaces were completely reorganized, taking down interior walls and reorienting living spaces to open up to the incredible views of the Pacific Ocean. Living, dining, study and kitchen were combined into one common space that is framed by a 9’6” high and 40’ wide opening that pockets away completely, revealing uninterrupted views of the ocean. The master bedroom was also redesigned as a single set of flowing spaces. Bedroom, bath and closet have no doors separating them and of course are open to the ocean view. The simple material palette of concrete floors, stucco exterior, Rhinezink panels and walnut cabinets was another strategy to keep the architecture focused on the site and place.

Light, simplicity and materiality were the guiding design elements for this modest 3,000 square foot residence for a young couple and their newborn child. Respectful to a neighborhood mainly consisting of Spanish-styled homes from the 1940s, scale and mass were kept comparable.

Coldwater Canyon / Ehrlich Yanai Rhee Chaney Architects

Daniel Tapia — Thu, 30 Nov 2017 13:00:00 +0000

The site is a deep, narrow, one-acre hillside property in Beverly Hills. The owners' desires were to create an oasis that focused more on a sense of privacy and introspection rather than maximizing views or presenting an extroverted face to the neighbourhood. In addition, the hillside site presented a number of significant technical challenges in terms of setbacks and maximum building envelope. The design solution was to organize the house and compound as a long, attenuated experience that afforded a sense of graciousness and space despite the restrictions.

McElroy House _ Ehrlich Architects / Ehrlich Yanai Rhee Chaney Architects

Cristian Aguilar — Wed, 26 Nov 2014 01:00:00 +0000

Designed for a couple and their two sons, this 7,800-square-foot house is nestled at the end of a cul-de-sac in a private community with spectacular views of the Pacific Ocean. One enters the compound along a fifty-foot long teak clad wall. Once inside, the house opens up to take advantage of the ocean views and the Southern California climate. The challenge was to provide gracious and open living spaces despite a restrictive eleven-foot height limit imposed by the homeowners association.

John M. Roll US Courthouse / Ehrlich Yanai Rhee Chaney Architects

Karen Valenzuela — Mon, 15 Sep 2014 01:00:00 +0000

Design innovations solve 21st century challenges in The John M. Roll Courthouse. The project’s goals include: safe, secure processing of mass immigration defendants; updating the American traditional courthouse; creation of an outdoor communal space, cohesive with the urban fabric of downtown Yuma; high performance and sustainability at low cost; design excellence within strict security mandates.

School of Earth & Space Exploration / Ehrlich Yanai Rhee Chaney Architects

Jonathan Alarcón — Tue, 09 Jul 2013 01:00:00 +0000

The design for the new facility for a School of Earth and Space Exploration clearly delineates the research, science and educational programs it houses. The 300,000-square-foot, seven-story (plus basement level), LEED Gold structure consists of a block of offices which face north, capturing ambient light and dramatic views, while research laboratories form an L-shape on the south and east side of the site. At ground level, the building’s entrance admits visitors to a two-story public educational outreach gallery and multiple classrooms. With a state-of-the-art 250-seat auditorium-planetarium, shaded entry and large arcades with exhibit spaces, this important gathering place communicates the facility’s exciting activities to the larger community.

The winning entry in a design-build competition, this 55,000 square foot college Contemporary Arts Building is finely attuned to its Southern California climate and community context. The high-performance project, which is pending LEEDTM Gold certification, incorporates innovative strategies for energy-efficiency that become bold design ideas. Inserted into an existing urban arts campus, the five-story structure includes a large experimental black box theater and an art gallery, both double-height spaces, surrounded by multiple studios, classrooms and offices. Reinforcing the interdisciplinary approach of the School of the Arts, the architecture stimulates interaction with the surrounding Arts Village with multiple terraces, landscaped courtyards, balconies and a colonnade. A new entrance court plaza has been planted with shade trees and fitted with wooden benches and integrated lighting to make it an inviting public gathering space.

331 Foothill Road Office Building / Ehrlich Yanai Rhee Chaney Architects

Oscar Lopez — Wed, 24 Aug 2011 01:00:00 +0000

This new city-owned office building, by Ehrlich Architect's, is located in the southwest section of the city’s industrial area, on a slightly sloping site. The four-story structure measures approximately 232’ x 95’, and consists of 73,000 gross square feet of program. The building will serve the City of Beverly Hills as well as the public and includes the City’s cable TV facilities and open office space for lease.

Located on the bluffs overlooking the Pacific Ocean, the 3,500 sqf Zeidler Residence, designed by Ehrlich Architects, arranges interior and exterior living spaces to maximize views, natural light, and ocean breezes within a subtle, sophisticated material palette.

700 Palms Residence / Ehrlich Yanai Rhee Chaney Architects

Christopher Henry — Tue, 01 Mar 2011 00:00:00 +0000

Ehrlich Architects’ objective for this eco-friendly residence in Venice, California was to: design a high-performance home that dissolves the barriers between indoors and outdoors; utilize raw, honest materials appropriate to the bohemian grittiness of the surrounding community; and have the smallest carbon footprint in balance with lifestyle. This project received a 2009 AIA National Housing Award.

Located in downtown Phoenix, the new six-story, 225,000 sqf, 110-foot tall, LEED Silver building has become an integral part of the fabric of ASU’s energizing downtown campus and a harbinger of Phoenix’s redevelopment. Delivered in a design-build, fast-track method, work began on design in October 2006 and the school opened its doors in August 2008, 22 months later. School schedules and budgets were both met.
