This is a house with a minimalist design named P-House. Located in Redondo Beach, Los Angeles and designed by Ras-a. It’s a renovation of a small post war house into a modern house. Most of this house is recycled from the original house because of limited budget and attention to the environment. Some of interior walls removed or relocated so the living room, kitchen, and dining area to be one space. To extend the space outside to a backyard and swimming pool, mounted a fourteen foot wide sliding glass door pockets. The outdoor living area becomes the focal point of the new design, and making the modest size of the interior feel more spacious. To prevent a busy street scene used clerestory windows on the south elevation, while still carrying the wind and framing the tops of nearby palm trees. North elevation, which faces the backyard and pool, has floor to ceiling windows providing the interior with an abundance of diffused natural light. Light colored cement board siding, high solar reflective roofing, and a well insulated building envelope add the passive solar design. A modern clean burning stove reduces heating loads during the colder months. Bedroom, bathroom, and one car garage is a room that maintain their original location. [via]
