Concrete Street Front, Bamboo Garden Side | Bamboo House

ByMyProperty Life

On a long triangular lot in Sant Joan d’Alacant, Bamboo House (Casa Bambu) protects the street with a quiet concrete shell and opens to the garden with verandas and bamboo screens that filter light, air, and views.
Ground‑floor living stays compact to free patios and soil, while the larger upper floor throws shade that cools outdoor areas throughout the day.
Bamboo screens work as natural brise‑soleil, softening glare, preserving privacy, and keeping cross‑ventilation active without sacrificing daylight.
The palette follows function: mass and thermal inertia to the street; porosity and filtered boundaries to the garden for a calm, climate‑tuned routine.
Passive strategies—orientation, daylight, shading, ventilation, and envelope tightness—pair with active systems like on‑site solar PV and greywater reuse.

Next door to Bel Air, Brentwood and Beverly Hills, with easy access to the 405, and just up the street from Ventura Boulevard, the location couldn’t be more convenient. Designed as his own personal residence by influential architect Abe Shapiro, onetime partner of both Bill Krisel and Herb Nadel, this historic property has the clean lines and disciplined detailing consistent with the preeminent USC School of Architecture that dominated residential design in LA in the middle part of the last century. Rebuilt from top to bottom in 2016, the result is a brand new home respectful of the original design, yet upgraded to the standards of the new millennium. Floor-to-ceiling glass doors connect the interior to the landscape, flooding the interior with natural light, together with skylights and clerestory windows.
