Designed for himself and his family, Montalba’s LA home blends interior and exterior landscapes with Japanese architecture influences and a crisp, contemporary aesthetic
Designed for himself and his family, Montalba’s LA home blends interior and exterior landscapes with Japanese architecture influences and a crisp, contemporary aesthetic
Montalba designed the residence – his own home, where he lives with his wife and two children – as two building masses with a connective bridge that peeks behind a secluded garden wall from the street side. When the ambitions were bigger than the lot space, and long views were on the wish list, the decision to build up was natural. ‘We had to transform and bring in natural light without taking up too much footprint and we’re being sensitive to not over-build on the lot so it’s scaled to the neighbourhood,’ says Montalba
The outdoor elements are extended from the main living space. ‘We don’t see any difference between the interior and exterior spaces, it’s all one,’ he says. One of the home’s most distinguished examples of this principle is the outdoor wooden bathtub in the upstairs master suite bathroom.
