After a Devastating Wildfire… | Trancas House

ByMyProperty Life

A fire-resistant concrete house in Malibu – Trancas House, designed by Lorcan O’Herlihy Architects after the original residence was destroyed in the 2018 Woolsey Fire. Rebuilt on the same footprint, the new design features rectangular skylight towers, exposed board-formed concrete, and a layout that frames views of the canyon and ocean while incorporating wildfire-resilient strategies throughout.

    Located in the Elysian Heights neighborhood of Los Angeles, the residence and detached artist studio are positioned to perceptually inhabit the adjacent community garden, and present views of the downtown skyline and surrounding hills, in addition to carving out an introspective landscape for the enjoyment of the family. Organized as a staggered sectional volume distributing program over three levels, the residence is situated over the utilitarian spaces located at street level. Living spaces occupy the multi-level second floor with direct access to the outdoors via the front deck and the rear terrace, physically expanding the interior. The third floor, accessed by the expressed scissor stair, consists of the bedrooms and bathrooms. Strategically placed apertures around the residence and studio encourage the spatial reverberation and dialogue between the activities of the home and the multiple and diverse terraces, decks, balconies, and landscapes of the property.
