FLOEGEL-SHETTY RESIDENCE
Finn Kappe, KappeStudio
The Floegel-Shetty residence reconciles two
main architectural desires expressed by the
clients. The first was for a formal, minimalist
and transparent glass box, allowing a
strong visual connection with the dramatic
surroundings. The second was for an informal
component that was protective, shielding,
mysterious and sensual. What evolved was
a sculptural structure striking a balance
between opposing formal desires.
HEUSCH RESIDENCE
Gerhard Heusch
The house is an example of an innovative
solution to circumvent the 15 foot setback
requirement for hillside residences. By
elevating the structure the need for a tall
retaining wall was eliminated. The use of
natural materials such as Brazilian walnut
floors inside and out, Portuguese limestone
and Spanish marble define the interior
spaces. The restrictive palette throughout
and the custom designed furniture and
cabinets characterize the minimalist
environment.
