Beach House Southern California: Andy Neumann, Architect Carlson Chase Associates
Article Abstract:
Andy Neumann and Carlson Chase Assoc designed a beach house in Southern California that resembled a shell with a succession of chambers opening to both sides. The clients wanted a house that was practical and contemporary as well as comfortable and warm for the children. Thus, Neumann separated the living and sleeping quarters with a shifting of level and a sloping wall. Carlson Chase helped with the selection of materials to be used to achieve a sense of flow and unity. The result was a mixture of informality and serenity, outdoor living and refinement.

BUS Wellness Center
Article Abstract:
A building formerly owned by Greyhound Bus Lines was redesigned by Steven Ehrlich Architects as a modern-day fitness club in Santa Monica, CA. Working on a sorely limited budget, the architects combined what was functional of the old and incorporated new design concepts that maximized the use of irregular shapes and ordinary materials. Furniture took on a free-form character which, fortunately, was consonant to the overall design character.
