Located in Highland park, Texas, an affluent township within the city of Dallas, Bernbaum Magadini Architects designed a pool and cabana addition to an existing house. Strict setbacks and zoning regulations limited the possible location for this small addition – only 730 square feet. The regulations for the township required that the addition be connected to the main house by “a wall and a roof” while matching the style and material palette of existing home.

Rockefeller Partners Architects have designed a home in Mandeville Canyon, a small community in the Brentwood neighborhood of Los Angeles, California. The homeowners had lived in eight houses in ten years, moving where it was convenient for work, but never finding the perfect location to create a real home. They now have two small children and needed a property where they could work, play and grow as a family.
When the homeowners found a 3.14-acre lot in Mandeville Canyon with over 200 mature trees and expansive views of the city and ocean beyond, they knew they had found the ideal environment. Upon this blank slate they wanted to build a home that would offer their children a place where they could be free to roam, play, and be curious without the constraints or risks that often come with living in an urban area like Los Angeles. Interior Design by Alana Homesley and photography by Eric Staudenmaier.
