The Dimmick Drive Houses are a pair of single-family residences on an extremely steep lot in the Mount Washington neighborhood of Los Angeles. At 2,000sf each, the pair are modest in size and have an unusual four-story configuration to minimize impact on the hillside.

Cache Me if You Can Installation / FreelandBuck

Paula Pintos — Thu, 19 Dec 2019 01:00:00 +0000

The project, commissioned by the City of Palo Alto, is a three-dimensional, materialized image documenting the life of the plaza over the course of one day. Moving around the structure and then inside, the 20 printed surfaces chart the course of one day, May 31s t, 2019, describing the activity that took place, the changing light levels and shifting shadow patterns. The triangular panels are perforated in a variable pattern based on the same images. At night, the pavilion is lit from the interior causing the holes to glow and creating a new set of images of King Plaza.

Over View by FreelandBuck is a permanent site-specific ceiling installation at Museum Lab, the Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh’s expansion into the former Carnegie Free Library of Allegheny on Pittsburgh’s historic North Side. The installation was commissioned as part of the restoration of the historic building, which provides a new museum for older kids offering cutting-edge experiences in art tech and learning, as well as activities and spaces for a new charter school.

Stack House / FreelandBuck

Fernanda Castro — Mon, 10 Sep 2018 12:00:00 +0000

Stack House is a newly built 2,207squarefoot residence designed and developed by awardwinning LA and NYbased architecture office FreelandBuck. Comprised of four stories notched into a sloping hillside, this vertical house uses the subtle rotation of each room to create seamless indooroutdoor spaces at every floor, each with unique and unobstructed views to the San Gabriel mountains. Working with difficult site constraints is central to the design of this house; unlike conventional hillside homes that appear to have been placed atop the slope, this house is embedded into it, creating a much closer relationship to the landscape.

MINI Living Urban Cabin / FreelandBuck

Pilar Caballero — Thu, 23 Aug 2018 10:00:00 +0000

FreelandBuck was commissioned to design a new site-specific installation in cooperation with MINI LIVING at the 2018 Los Angeles Design Festival. This was the third stop of the MINI LIVING Urban Cabin tour the car brand first launched in 2017, and will be the first of MINI’s commissioned installations to house overnight guests. The Urban Cabin is a continuous installation project, a small living unit that travels to various locations across the world, adapted for each city by local architects. Each variation is designed with limited space and inspired by local surroundings, demonstrating creative approaches to the challenge of saving space while creating unique identities.

Hungry Man Productions / FreelandBuck

Daniel Tapia — Wed, 22 Nov 2017 14:00:00 +0000

FreelandBuck has recently completed an 8,000squarefoot office interior for Hungry Man Productions headquarters in Los Angeles. Asked to rethink the organization of the office, the project aims to match the lightheartedness of Hungry Man’s identity with a series of tumbled cubicles that playfully challenge the regularity of the typical office space.

Maximiliano Restaurant / FreelandBuck

Megan Jett — Sat, 26 Nov 2011 00:00:00 +0000

Maximiliano is an Italian restaurant and pizzeria for chef Andre Guerrero that opened in October 2011 in Los Angeles. The 2,200 sqf tenant improvement is atmospherically distinct; a unique triangular dining area infused with color and evocative of the rich and refined menu.

Earl’s Gourmet Grub / FreelandBuck

Sebastian J — Mon, 05 Jul 2010 00:00:00 +0000

Architectural computation is generally promoted in relation to high-tech building systems and iconic towers. FreelandBuck’s design for Earl’s Gourmet Grub is a test case in how computational architecture can enrich a small space’s everyday use. The restaurant was designed with cutting-edge technology to fit an old-world sensibility inspired by its food. Torquing ceiling surfaces and inscribed digital patterns are combined with a rich material and color palette to evoke both technological refinement and the more rustic feel of alpine landscapes and Viennese cafes.
