Culver City Case Study
Culver City, California
Woods + Dangaran built this house as a prototype: how a new custom house can sit on a standard lot in an old Culver City tract without towering over its neighbors. The second floor steps back from the street, and a two-story atrium at the center pulls light down through the whole plan.
The palette is modest on purpose. Earth-toned plaster outside, white oak and soft walls inside. With that much daylight moving through the atrium, every wall color has to hold steady from morning to night.
