SUMMARY:ARCH TOUR FEST: Horizon House 2
DESCRIPTION:Photo Credit: Karl Tso\, Geoffrey von Oeyen \nARCH TOUR FEST: Horizon House 2\nHorizon House 2 explores Robin Evans’s idea of Mies’s paradoxical symmetries\, using mirrored views—horizontally and vertically across the horizon—to register the architecture within its natural context. Oblique views of ocean and sky are framed by low-e multi-slide doors and large\, strategically placed mirrors\, referencing Southern California’s Light and Space art movement. \nThe house transitions from the familiar typology of a traditional ranch at the entry into a sequence of geometric viewing frames along the southern facade. A bisected gable roof\, appearing to cantilever\, is suspended by a hidden steel structure and a visible 57-foot clear-span truss that enables spatial continuity between the interior and the pool deck. A sand-finished concrete floor—an abstract beach at low tide—features a saw-cut grid that reconciles the original house’s orientation with the east-west pool axis. \nDesigned for resilience and flexibility in a post-pandemic era of remote work and climate change\, the home includes a pool-fed exterior fire sprinkler system and a protected mechanical room that doubles as a belvedere. Every space frames the horizon\, either visually or conceptually\, and each architectural element serves multiple purposes. Bedrooms are separated from open living areas by semi-private courtyards\, allowing for events while maintaining privacy. Varying ceiling heights support classical music performances and live recordings. \nTen days after the owners moved into the house\, it was violently destroyed in the 2018 Woolsey Fire. In the aftermath\, Horizon House 2 was built on the existing deep foundations\, reinterpreting the original with improved daylighting\, passive ventilation\, and fire resilience. This project has been nominated for the Mies Crown Hall Americas Prize\, and is the subject of several published articles and interviews regarding wildfire rebuilds and resiliency. This would be a unique opportunity to tour the project after its completion but prior to its architectural publication. \nTour Led By: \nGeoffrey von Oeyen\, Associate AIA\, Los Angeles Chapter – Principal of Geoffrey von Oeyen Design and von Oeyen Architects\, Associate Professor of Practice at the USC School of Architecture \nGeoffrey von Oeyen is a Principal of Geoffrey von Oeyen Design and von Oeyen Architects\, based in Los Angeles\, and is an Associate Professor of Practice at the USC School of Architecture. The recipient of multiple national awards including the Architectural League Prize\, Next Progressives\, and a MacDowell Fellowship\, his built architectural projects in North America and Asia have been widely published in international architectural publications such as Architect\, Architectural Record\, Dezeen\, Architizer\, and the Architect’s Newspaper. In 2025\, Geoffrey von Oeyen Design was selected as one of ten architecture firms to reimagine the iconic Case Study Program published by Arts & Architecture magazine through Case Study:Adapt and Architectural Digest in response to the January 2025 Los Angeles wildfires. \nVon Oeyen’s built work was exhibited in the 2023 Venice Biennale “Time Space Existence”\, curated by the European Cultural Centre. In 2019\, Geoffrey von Oeyen Design was internationally longlisted by Dezeen for “Emerging Architect of the Year”\, and was selected by the Dezeen readers as one of the top ten firms in all disciplines of architecture\, design\, and landscape architecture.

SUMMARY:ARCH TOUR FEST: Highway House
DESCRIPTION:Photo Credit: Eric Staudenmaier \nARCH TOUR FEST: Highway House\nHighway House is a Woolsey Fire Rebuild project. The steep Santa Monica Mountains serve as both the formal inspiration and the immediate context for this new home. In the design\, sharply angled shed roofs follow the site’s topography while contrasting with the natural hillsides of this Malibu\, CA residence. \nAfter the original structures were lost\, the new formal massing reused the old concrete grade beams and caissons\, the only salvageable parts. The resulting structures\, though fully transformed\, avoid wasteful and environmentally intensive concrete work\, reducing costs and lowering the carbon footprint of this fire rebuild. \nIn addition to an architectural tour of the home\, we will highlight fire-resilient design strategies. The rebuild exceeds the Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone (VHFHSZ) requirements. To address the recurring threats of wildfires and mudslides\, we implemented a combination of strategies. A specialized exterior sprinkler system is distributed across the roofs and adjacent hillsides to wet vegetation in the event of a fire\, preventing flames from approaching the house. Preserving vegetation also helps stabilize the hillside during the rainy season\, when mudslides are most common after fire damage. \nAdditional fire prevention measures include non-combustible exterior finishes; two 5\,000-gallon backup tanks for the sprinklers; an on-site hydrant that draws from the pool in case county water is lost; and a solar-charged battery backup system for power during outages. \nPassive design strategies further connect the occupants to their environment by maximizing daylighting and natural ventilation. Drought-tolerant\, native species planted throughout the property strengthen the local ecosystem while deepening the human connection to the land. \nShading is provided by trellises with custom laser-cut aluminum screens featuring a unifying motif. These create shifting shade patterns throughout the day\, which are backlit at night to remain visible. \n  \nTour Led By: \nLisa Little\, AIA – Principal and Founder at Vertebrae \nLisa Little holds a Master of Architecture from the Southern California Institute of Architecture (SCI-Arc) and a Bachelor of Science in electrical engineering from Georgia Institute of Technology. Little integrates her engineering and architecture backgrounds to create an atypical approach to research and design. Her work strives to engage ambient phenomena through built form while questioning the role of technology in contemporary architectural practice. She is the principal and founder of the award-winning firm Vertebrae. Recent projects include private residences\, commercial interiors\, and large-scale artworks. Little currently teaches graduate and undergraduate level design studios at the University of Southern California and is a licensed architect in the state of California. \n  \nArchitect: Vertebrae\nBuilding Credits:\nGC: RJC Builders\, Inc\nLandscape Architect: Terremoto\nSE: CW Howe\n \n  \nAIA CES: 1.0 LU|HSW Approved \nLearning Objectives \nParticipants will be able to explain how reusing the old concrete grade beams and caissons\, the only salvageable parts of the original house\, avoids wasteful and environmentally intensive concrete work\, reducing costs and lowering the carbon footprint of this fire rebuild. \nParticipants will review how the specialized exterior sprinkler system is distributed across the roofs and adjacent hillsides to wet vegetation in the event of a fire\, preventing flames from approaching the house.

SUMMARY:ARCH TOUR FEST: La Cienega 23
DESCRIPTION:ARCH TOUR FEST: La Cienega 23\nThis 5-story\, 23-unit housing project in West Hollywood draws inspiration from the city’s commitment to promote thoughtful design through courtyard housing and community-driven city development. Located on N. La Cienega Blvd. near Sunset Blvd.\, La Cienega 23 judiciously reduces its allowable building envelope in order to maximize open space and provide a common open scape. The resulting massing responds to the adjacent buildings and creates a transition between the surrounding higher-density blocks and the low-density residential buildings to the east. The design also reflects our mutual pledge with the City of West Hollywood toward building a better and more sustainable environment. This project incorporates a number of holistic\, passive sustainable strategies that address issues of site\, orientation\, organization\, materiality\, and environmental exposure. \nTour Led By: \nKevin Murray – Associate\, Lorcan O’Herlihy Architects \nSince joining LOHA in 2017\, Kevin has led projects across a broad range of scales\, including urban revitalization\, municipal partnerships\, multi-family residential developments\, and local cultural institutions. His notable projects include The Convent Performance Space and Education Center\, Silver Lake Multi-Family Housing\, and a Re-visioning of the Beverly Hills Streetscape and Transportation Infrastructure. As a Project Lead\, Kevin has initiated and integrated communications among governmental leaders\, community members\, project stakeholders\, clients\, and consultants. He is passionate about collaborative work that marries context and novelty\, and is dedicated to creating architecture that supports a more equitable future for Los Angeles. Kevin holds degrees from Harvard University and Washington University in St. Louis\, and has received several awards for design excellence including the Rotch Fellowship\, KPF Traveling Fellowship\, and the Frederick Widmann Prize. \n\nGhazal Khezri – Director\, Lorcan O’Herlihy Architects \nGhazal Khezri\, AIA\, is a director at LOHA. She has been practicing for over 15 years and led the design teams on projects such as Sandi Simon Center for Dance\, Esri Campus Center\, Wesley 3434\, La Cienega 23\, and many others. She has contributed to a diverse project typology\, from cultural institutions\, housing\, and mixed-use to installations and objects. Beyond project leadership\, she plays a key role in shaping the firm’s strategic vision. \nGhazal’s design approach leans heavily on finding adventurous solutions responsive to the context\, culture\, and ecology of the place to bring joy and welcome transformation. Her ongoing interest includes unlocking new possibilities by questioning when to use an existing building instead of building a new one. \nGhazal contributes to the broader dialogue on housing and design equity through active local engagement\, including community-driven rebuilding efforts in Altadena\, as well as participation in panel discussions. She has served as a juror for several AIA Design Honor Awards and as a design critic at institutions such as the University of Southern California (USC)\, the University of California\, Los Angeles (UCLA)\, the Southern California Institute of Architecture (SCI-Arc)\, Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning at the University of Michigan\, and the University of Applied Arts in Vienna and Innsbruck. \n\nArchitect: Lorcan O’Herlihy Architects \nBuilding Credits:\nGeneral Contractor: YS Buildings\nStructural Engineer: Amir Pirbadian\nLandscape Architect: STOSS\nInterior Design: Lorcan O’Herlihy Architects \n  \nAIA CES: 1.0 LU|HSW Approved \nLearning Objectives \n1.
