MONTALBA ARCHITECTS CELEBRATES
MULTIPLE AWARD WINS FOR RECENTLY
COMPLETED PASADENA RESIDENTIAL PROJECT
Montalba Architects received seven awards in 2019 for the design of the newly
completed 4,200 square-foot residential property.
A “matchbox” concept is the driving force behind the design
of this residence in Pasadena. The layered volumes of the
structure are integrated into the downhill slope of the lot,
creating open spaces between the structures for integrated
planting areas, covered terraces, and dual linear water
features for passive cooling.

Outdoor breezeways, porches, courtyards, covered walkways,
and an immense rooftop deck extend the reaches of the
limited floor area to the outdoors and provide immense
views. The house includes guest suites, a home office, gym,
and a theatre screening room, as well as abundant outdoor
spaces, all showcasing views of the surrounding hills and
valley.
