Venice Beach House, Los Angeles, California, USA
Located by the sea front in the narrow lanes of Venice Beach, this contemporary architectural proposal comprises of a three bedroom house. The property has an autonomous studio apartment, each accessed separately by independent external terraces and amenity spaces, report the architects.
“The house is organised around a full height courtyard void over a pool, allowing light to penetrate into the deep plan. On the lower floor the bedrooms all have an aspect inwardly over the pool whilst the street facing elements deal with parking and separate studio apartment access. Above this, the open plan living spaces are once again organised around the courtyard with a central staircase leading up to the roof terrace, containing a fire pit and terrace kitchen. Here, the surrounding timber screen can be opened up to enjoy the views out to the beach, or closed down to shelter from the prevailing wind.
The studio apartment is perched on the upper floor and can be opened up to be used as further accommodation for the main house or closed off to remain private.”

Brighton RIBA Competition Win
Sutherland Hussey Harris Architects and Innes Associates are the winners of an RIBA competition to find innovative designs for small sites in Brighton.
All four council-owned sites in the contest are former garages or car parks that were difficult to develop but which could now be used for housing.
The judges drew up a shortlist for each site in January and have now announced the preferred schemes.
Natal Road:
The final phase of the New Homes for Neighbourhoods Competition invited the successful architects to refine their designs, respond to feedback from the judges, demonstrate the viability of the proposals and put together a team to deliver the scheme.
Sutherland Hussey Harris Architects submitted the preferred schemes for Hinton Close and Natal Road. Innes Associates was responsible for the preferred schemes at Frederick Street and Rotherfield Crescent.
The jury included architects Nigel McCutcheon from Brighton council, Grant Shepherd, from the University of Brighton, and Simon Barker of Barker Shorten Architects acting as the RIBA architect adviser.
The judges recommended the council considers all four schemes for future detailed design development work, but suggested that Hinton Close be developed first because of its readiness to proceed to planning application.
Hinton Close Hollingdean:
Anne Meadows, chair of the council’s housing committee, said: “The winning architectural practices impressed us with their creative designs which successfully address the constraints of the different sites and respond well to their existing context.
“The winners have also demonstrated that their designs are deliverable within the budget set aside for the competition. Officers will be taking a report to… committee in June outlining a strategy for the delivery of all four winning schemes. We are particularly looking forward to working with both practices at the detailed design stage.”
