MICHAEL MARQUEZ ARCHITECTS
DC4 is the fourth project that MMA has designed for Doug
Chapin during the past ten years. The 7,200 SF house is set
on a steeply sloping one acre site in Coldwater Canyon near
Mulholland Drive. The primary idea was to create a
downtown “loft” residence in a setting which offered more
tranquil surroundings.
The house is carved into the hillside using concrete floors,
split-faced concrete masonry units, open steel truss joists
and steel framing with an entire glass wall capturing the
canyon views to the west. To soften the mixture of raw
construction materials, the house will be filled with
extensive built-in wood ceiling panels, cabinetry and other
special architectural features
