Robb Report: “Allsbrook and Kuhle live in Los Angeles, so they’re familiar with the city’s residential must-have: an indoor-outdoor layout. “Many of the larger houses that have proliferated over the last decade are a terraced box with large openings, but these boxy houses don’t soothe the soul,” they say. “People want a more grounded and organic connection to the environment, a warmth these homes don’t provide.” Their solution is a more layered, earthy, multi-material palette that eschews white walls in favor of a metal roof, dark wood siding and locally sourced stone. “It brings the home and its owner into dialogue with the environment,” they add, “rather than standing in contrast to it.””
