San Lorenzo residence is a contemporary home located at the end of a canyon road,and was designed by Mike Jacobs Architecture for a client in Los Angeles, California, USA.
Aside from the fact that the house itself is a genuine work of art, it is emphasized by the surrounding landscapes- a private garden and manicured fairways of a golf course that add value to the property.
The house is organized by two interlocking “L-shaped” as it follows: the first “L-shape”, which is an open enclosure and veranda, includes the garden, the pool, the living rooms and the theater, while the second “L-shape”, which is an opaque enclosure, features the private bedrooms and the service spaces.
The sliding doors that open to the south and the windows facing north create the connection with the exterior and also cool the house and draw fresh air to naturally ventilate the house.

This residence beautifully illustrates how architecture can harmonize with nature, creating not just a home, but a living experience that breathes and evolves with its surroundings. True design respects both form and the intangible spirit of place.
Thank you for your thoughtful insight. We aimed to create a home that truly connects with its environment, blending form and spirit to offer a living experience that evolves alongside nature. Your appreciation means a lot.
