The chairman is fond of both traditional and modern Japanese design and collects bonsai. The design is intended to reflect as well as support the company's work style and principles which are open, dynamic, transparent and encourages conscious risk-taking, and intuitive truth. Offices are small, almost cubby-sized; but glass walls and ceilings borrow space from an expansive barrel-vaulted ceiling. Daylight filters through the rice paper-like acrylic cladding, enlivening the entire interior. At night, artificial lighting illuminates the entire vault. The vault is also the ceiling of the conference room. Defined by glass walls this room is the visual focus for the offices and yet almost disappears. The washi-paper screen handmade in Kyoto was specifically commissioned for the Conference Room. It is backlit and hides the presentation white board and video screen. A custom designed LED fixture hovers over the conference table. In the circulation area, water slowly spills over the edge of a sandblasted stainless steel tank and drops into the concrete floor. Its muted sound brings serenity to the Zen-like minimalist atmosphere. Colored glass sliding doors counterpoint the neutral tones of the office space.

The Seminary teaches practical spirituality. Sylistically the design evokes the balance and serenity of Zen. Imbued in Zen is an appreciation of rustic simplicity. The form and shape of the common table and the wood slatted ceiling is Japanese. The modern light fixture is a re-interpretation of the paper lantern. A variety of woods (walnut, teak, alder and hemlock) of differing color and texture balance the hand-rubbed metal walls. Stainless steel and marble elements (coffee bar and buffet server) float within a field of warm woods. Modern and rustic coexist as one. Layers of complexity come together in a simple way. Los Angeles CA https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c1a5dc25ffd20c233b9d182/1550166370665-J8PWP0BEXIIB7WK1RRFW/miller-01-dining-fr-living+WEB.jpg Interiors MILLER TOWNHOUSE The careful layering of detail, material, texture, and light define this dynamic but calm, sensual minimalist aesthetic. In the double height, entry hall of this beach-front townhouse, cantilevered stair treads, and a frameless glass guardrail creating an almost weightless ascent to the upper level. Translucent design elements diffuse or let in light in differing ways. This varies with the time of day, the seasons, or when artificially lit. For example, the channel glass wall distributes diffused daylight from the entry hall skylight into the master bedroom. At night, light penetrating from the Master Bedroom turns it into a dramatic, even glowing light source for the entry hall. “Carved” dropped ceilings open to skylights, shape the living spaces of the open plan. A two foot thick, Venetian plastered wall separates the Dining and Living Room areas from the Kitchen and Den, while allowing for visually open flow between all four areas. Anchoring the Den and Living Room, the wall becomes a highly articulated sculptural element, integrating both a fireplace and a flat panel TV on opposite sides. In the Master Bedroom, painted walls are carved and notched to accommodate a flat panel TV, a sliding wood door, and display niche. A simple cherry bathroom vanity contrasts with limestone slab or mosaic walls and floors. All doors are stained to precisely match the cherry wood flooring which flows throughout the entire townhouse, warming and unifying both levels. Santa Monica, CA https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c1a5dc25ffd20c233b9d182/1550536176394-DJRN8A7KMLN37QAVTR44/SCAN004+WEB.jpg Interiors ECONOMIC ANALYSIS CORPORATION Opposing and contrasting forms, materials and color are held in harmonious balance in such a way as to create an overall experience of resolution, balance and repose contained within an envelope of serenity. Separate but related elements present themselves to the visitor upon entering this office suite. A translucent glass wall, fabricated of steel and sandblasted glass, forms a strong visual backdrop dividing the reception area from the main conference room while allowing natural light to penetrate into the interior. A folded steel screen and black plaster wall frame the maple reception desk. A sloping limestone-colored plaster wall separates the service functions from the light filled hallways and directly reflects the triangular plan of the building. The wall's thickness and solidity contrast with the lightweight taut glass planes, doors and gypsum board partitions. The entire space is enlivened as the changing daylight permeates and enfolds this workplace. Century City, CA https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c1a5dc25ffd20c233b9d182/1550624996270-K3JFSOPY1BZ7QNWVJARH/brightleaf-entry+WEB.jpg Interiors Brightleaf Holistic and Cosmetic Dentistry Natural materials and architectural form are used to transcend the clinical sterility of the typical dental office and communicate the principals of holistic treatment. Borrowed natural light and an open plan increase the sense of space within this compact office suite. Patients are greeted by a composition of curved and angular planes unified with a single vibrant color which forms an entry canopy and front desk. This sculpturally dynamic, evocative form contrasts to the rational highly efficiently organized treatment area. Acrylic panels form both partition and luminous ceiling within the open space providing privacy while maintaining a spatial connection to the larger volume. Their translucency allows daylight into all areas of the open plan. Holistic treatment uses natural, non-toxic remedies to re-harmonious all systems of the body. This is metaphorically symbolized in architectural form through the balancing of masculine and feminine geometries, emotional and rational forms, opaque and translucent materials, as well as compressive and expansive spaces. The use of sustainable materials (Low VOC paint, high efficiency lighting, bamboo cabinetry and cork floors) extend the intention to heal both patients and planet.

The original house has been torn down and a new one built on the existing foundation. A limited budget and short time frame necessitated a straightforward structural and spatial design, with modest materials and detailing. A single pitch shed type roof covers a simple rectangular floor plan. The roof creates an 18 ft high north facing wall opening to the views of field and mountains. The expansive sloped ceiling is counterbalanced by a surrounding low ceiling above the kitchen and dining alcove. On the south side a corrugated steel wall screens the entry deck from the adjacent street and serves as an intimate eating area off the kitchen. The main living area opens to decks on both sides. A red painted wall serves as a privacy screen between the main house and a rental unit. Located in a high-risk fire zone, the exterior of the house is designed to “harden’ it against wildfires. The roof and south wall are clad in continuous standing seam Cor-ten steel. All other walls are clad in cement Hardi-board panels. There are no eaves, windows are 1’ thick insulated glass, the few vents are screened against embers and the fire rated wood decks enclosed at the perimeter.

Granite pavers define a new enlarged rear patio, walkways and gazebo patio at the far end of the pool. The existing pool has been resurfaced, new lighting installed and and a water fall added at the short end. The existing accessory building was re-purposed into a Spa, Rec Room and Bathroom. Within the Spa is a Far-Infared Sauna, Steam Room and WC. The Rec Room is clad in hand-selected Koa wood paneling. The Fireplace-TV is bordered by hand-rubbed steel paneling and hand-blown glass light fixtures. A large Nana-Wall door opens this room to the gazebo-patio which centers around a fire pit. White fabric shades the gazebo. A custom fabricated glass chandelier hangs from the gazebo center.

The main living spaces were reconfigured, the bedroom wing was completely rebuilt and extended and a second story added for a home office and gym. Floor to ceiling glass provides spectacular views to the nearby mountains. Metal roof and balcony fascias, steel guardrails, the second story roof and various canopies contrast with white stucco walls. The second story addition creates a vertical emphasis at the rear and terminates the new pool. Its roof, supported by steel pipe columns, appears to float above a continuous band of windows. It overhangs the walls, covering the cantilevered balcony. A new pool was placed on axis with the addition to dramatize and extend the building into the landscape. New landscaping and limestone hardscaping at front and rear complete the transformation. Bel Air, CA https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c1a5dc25ffd20c233b9d182/1548681259901-IY4WSF13JGG234XAKTL2/IMG_3860.jpg Projects LUNA RIVERA RESIDENCE The site for this house is located in high-elevation snow country. It is flat at the front and covered with Wild Oak, while the rear is a very steep pine covered hillside. The house is placed at the junction of the flat and steeply sloped topographies, and bridges between two distinct micro environments. It floats above the varying terrain, which allows for water run-off, while forming a covered driveway that protects access during heavy snowfall. The house consists of a simple rectangle with a semi-detached room at the front, and garage below. The garage anchors the house into the mountain. Above, the main level extends out to the east, hovering above the land. Large, glass walls in the living area, open on either side to views up the mountain and down to the front yard and Oak trees. An entry ramp extends out toward the street, welcoming visitors up to the entrance. At the rear, a terrace extends the living area to the outside. It is designed to be fire-resistant. A rusted or oxidized steel roof wraps down the exterior walls of both the large and smaller volumes of the house, forming a continuous surface without eaves. It also cantilevers out where necessary, covering the entry walk, terraces, and windows. The remaining exterior walls are cement board siding. Sustainable features will include induced natural air circulation via roof turbines and cross ventilation, high velocity air distribution, natural cotton fiber insulation, low flush toilets, plantation grown palm flooring, formaldehyde free building panels, bio-fiber panels for casework, and water based resin/paper countertops.

These conflicting functions were resolved by creating two areas separated by a change in level. A concrete water pond was placed at this transition. The pond edge brings the soothing sound of falling water into the backyard. Steps alongside the pond lead to a stone path taking one to the meditation area at the rear of the yard. A white ceiling adjacent to the house wraps around and defines the entertaining area. A built-in grill and long seating counter define one end of this area. Studio City, CA https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c1a5dc25ffd20c233b9d182/1548682753016-8VH3EN1S5XTP2JTR5ZG3/IMGL01.jpg Projects BURTON BRUMER REMODEL This house synthesizes our client’s preference for a Japanese styled Southern California Ranch. Located in the high-risk fire zone foothills of the Santa Monica Mountains, it utilizes thick Ipe fire-rated wood boards on much of the exterior cladding and decking. Walls were removed to create a large open Living Area containing both formal and informal sitting areas, a dining room and a kitchen. A large glazed “dormer” above the rear sitting area expands the space and brings in northern natural light. Sliding glass doors in the Master Bedroom and open the house to the newly landscaped rear yard.

The continuous surface of an origami-like roof floats above the ground. It shapes and responds to the character of the 3 spaces it shelters: gently arcing above the great room, folding above the master bedroom suite and forming a conventional gable over the bedroom/garage wing. Shoji-like garage doors 'roll' on a cantilevered steel beam. The origami roof extends into the interior forming an entry canopy. Exterior wall and ceiling materials are brought into the interior to form a seamless continuity between inside and outside. A slanted purple plaster wall divides the master bedroom from the great room in such a way as to create the illusion of a single uninterrupted volume between the two. A floor to ceiling glass wall extends along the entire length of the house opening it to the expansive ocean vista, coastline and Catalina Island and Newport Harbor. Dining and Tatami Rooms open to a walled garden, which provides outdoor privacy and an alternative to the expansive ocean vista. Operable windows at floor and ceiling on opposite sides of the great room create a natural convection and continuous cross ventilation. A radiant heated warm floor of polished concrete floor extends throughout all rooms allowing for easy maintenance as well as passive solar temperature control.

The interplay of solid wall and large glazed openings create an intimate connection with the outdoor gardens and natural canyon surroundings. The house sites between 2 hills to create an entry motor court and large rear yard. A U-shaped plan focuses on and preserves an extraordinary sycamore tree at the front and a coral tree at the rear. Glass walls of each wing afford views across the Asian inspired entry garden from Dining Room to Library. A concrete entry wall is split by double height glass out of which projects a copper canopy. Entrance to the house is under this canopy and through the flanking stairs to a grand Living Space featuring a 20-foot high glass wall opens that opens to the rear lawn and pool beyond. Bedrooms fill the second floor wings. Movement between the two wings offers dramatic views into the Living room and rear lawn.

Pipes projecting out of the wall spill water into brass drums. Between each water drum, bubblers gurgle. Alternating sounds from the two water sources soothe the mind as they mask traffic noise from the nearby boulevard. Underwater lights within and between each drum animate the water’s movement and wash the vine covered wall. With each being controlled independently, the dual sources of lights and water create a variety of “scenes.” With water pipes off and lights within the drums on, the fountain becomes a serene scene of glowing circular planes of light. With bubblers on full, and water pipes flowing, the fountain changes from a quiet, contemplative focus to a highly animated experience.

The school provides a psychological environment within which to enhance the experience of Self illumination. The University required a complete remodel to its facility consisting of a new facade, two new large seminar rooms for 80 and 200 students and a major reconfiguration of the interior in order to provide better circulation. The design reflects the nature of spiritual learning in the way it symbolically evokes illumination, embraces creative tension, and reflects the qualities of balance, peace, and harmony. Furthermore, the design strives for a clear expression of each part, such that each part is a whole unto itself, yet simultaneously a part of the greater Whole. A floating plane of limestone colored stucco enfolds the existing facade, unifying the existing disparities and lack of cohesion. On top of this stucco plane, a steel and glass canopy wraps the building and transforms itself into a protective awning over the entry. Inside, light from above descends into the building's center directly over the main stair. A frosted, curved, acrylic sheet suspended above this stair, is both light fixture and sculpture. The experience of ascending and descending is made ceremonial. In the two large seminar rooms, self-illumination is given symbolic expression in ceilings that open to the sky. These rooms convey both a sense of expansion and intimacy, creating a serene environment supportive of the inner work of upliftment. The larger seminar room focuses on a circular skylight that expands into an asymmetrical cone which intersects a curved wood ceiling. Suspended within this cone, a large, sculptural, translucent panel is used as a light diffuser. A sky lit vault also dominates the smaller seminar room, adding height and light to the room. Angled acoustic panels turn up into this vault as translucent, curved, light diffusers add a delicate counterpoint to the opaque, angular planes.

Built by the Guasti wine family and designed by Hudson & Munsell, this Beau Arts/Italian Renaissance villa is a Los Angeles Cultural Heritage Monument in the West Adams Historic District. The entire villa underwent a major seismic retrofit and restoration. All work was consistent with the U.S. Secretary of the Interior Standards. The cornice/balustrade and porte cochere were reconstructed using lightweight glass fiber reinforced cement cast from the original stone pieces. Exterior cast-iron balcony railings were repaired and the exterior was cleaned, re-plastered, and repainted to match the original colors. Interior oak paneling, columns and painted ceiling and wall murals were cleaned and refinished. All doors, windows, and original hardware were retrofitted and repaired retaining almost all the original and requiring virtually no replacement. Interior finishes included a custom designed carpet woven specifically for the grand stairway, entry hall, and salon. 2003 California Preservation Foundation Award https://www.mcharlesbernsteinarchitect.com/commercial daily 0.75 2019-02-19 https://www.mcharlesbernsteinarchitect.com/contact daily 0.75 2019-01-28
