STUDIO PALI FEKETE ARCHITECTS – OBERFELD RESIDENCE

This L-plan house burrows into its sloping
site to stay within the mandatory height
limit of 18ft. Its street facade is clad in a
rain screen of cement panels with minimal
openings that conceal the fully glazed interior
from the street. The house is cut into the
hillside, and a retaining wall and reflecting
pool flank the long wing of living spaces that
extend almost to the edge of a canyon where
there is an angled infinity pool.

Jury Comments
“We love this house. It’s pretty special.
There’s a lightness to it and that seems to
quiet it all down.”
