The proposed project is a 160 square meters single family home, with 158 square meters subterranean structure on a 722 square meters upslope escarpment, near Mulholland Drive, Los Angeles. Its focus is on preserving the natural topography by gently integrating a bisected form and unique tunnel access. The design harmoniously blends with the ridge's topography, featuring a low-profile building on the ridgetop accessed via the tunnel. This approach preserves the site's natural aesthetics by eliminating a disruptive vehicular driveway, ensuring the land's beauty is protected.

Founded in 2006, Arshia Architects is an architecture and design practice that emerged from the tectonic breach of the aesthetic experience and the act of building - purposely fusing this gap with novel substance. Arshia Architects is a collective of designers dedicated to optimizing experiences between sentient and non-sentient domains, whose aim is to decipher our relationship with the world and its components at large and the implications our built environment has on its trajectory into the future. Our practice has been awarded by nationally and internationally recognized citations such as the American Institute of Architects and featured in prestigious venues such as the Museum of Contemporary Art.
