Clement Avenue
Single Family Dwelling
Venice, CA
The design of Clement Avenue is distinguished by simple, abstract forms, and large open living spaces. A diversity of light-transmitting materials are integrated into interior and exterior spaces. Large expanses of window-wall open up key corners of the 2,000 sf, 2-story single-family house. Translucent “channel” glass surrounds a metal and wood staircase, creating a warm, diffuse light that is echoed in the translucent polycarbonate skylights included in the covered deck and rear carport overhang. The home’s differentiated volumes produce an assembly of covered and uncovered outdoor spaces that take advantage of the dwelling’s peaceful, natural setting.
