360 House Modern Remodel Construction Update - June 2010

Derek Leavitt — Tue, 15 Jun 2010 19:31:00 GMT

The 360 house is almost complete. The photos here aren't great, but we thought we'd share them with you anyway. They were taken with an iPhone on June 2, 2010.

Stair and loft office above

The last post has much clearer pictures of this area, but now the ceiling has been painted orange to complete the effect of the orange element carrying through the house.

The stainless steel cable railings are in.

Perfect example of why you should hire professional architectural photographers to shoot your work. Amature iPhone photos don't cut it.

The indoor/outdoor connection

Water is now in the pool. Just in time for summer.

The 360 house is designed by Modative modern architects in Los Angeles. The 360 House is located in Long Beach, CA.

Some photos from our visit to the construction site of the 360 House remodel in May 2010.This project is located in Long Beach, CA.

Here's a quick reminder of what it looked like prior to our modern architectural intervention.

Yikes!

Now that's better.

The front door - an aluminum storefront system.

Here's what the entry area looks like from the inside. It was important to bring the exterior materials inside to create an indoor/outdoor feel. The ceiling was about to be painted to matchthe orange on the exterior.

A close up

Here you can really see the Hardie fiber cement shiplap siding carry from the outside in.

The second floor of the cube contains the unique master suite.

The kitchen and living area flows into the back yard thanks to the large triple track sliding doors.

A modern outdoor living room complete with fireplace.

The back yard awaits the finishing touches.

The orange roof and wall extensions shade the south facing windows while also creating the outdoor living room in the backyard.

As you can see, this modern remodel makeover is almost complete.

View from the street. Already liking the form of the house better without the faux mansard roof and rough stucco.
