For a guest house in a garden in Beachwood Canyon, Los Angeles, CHH devised a brick folly. Rendering a complex geometry in a single material, the functional and ornamental elements of the design blend against the total mass. A raised spa overflows into the plunge pool below, and integrated planters hold various species of cacti. Concealed windows and skylights allow light to filter into the space while maintaining guests’ privacy, with none of the structure’s apertures being visible from the surrounding vantage points of the garden.
