In 1851, London hosted the Great Exhibition in what would become one of the world’s finest examples of modern architecture: the Crystal Palace. Complete with dramatic arches and a shimmering, transparent facade, the palace was absolutely gargantuan. It integrated 293,000 panes of glass, a 128-foot-high ceiling, and housed more than 14,000 exhibitors from around the world. The Crystal Palace was ultimately destroyed by a fire in 1936, but it’s now receiving a second life hundreds of miles away from London.

At the INSPIRE Entertainment Resort in Incheon, South Korea, an entrance area known as the “Cube” has been transformed into the Crystal Palace. Upon entering the Cube, visitors encounter immersive LED displays mounted on ceilings and walls, each showcasing decadent, iridescent interiors that teem with light. The installation boasts a startling degree of detail, with ornate decor peppered across the domed ceiling, wall trim, and sophisticated arches. Despite being entirely composed of flat screens, and unfolding indoors, the Crystal Palace installation achieves a remarkable three-dimensionality. It’s as though, even if only for a moment, visitors have been transported back in time to 1851.

INSPIRE regularly unveils these kinds of rich, digitally-produced worlds throughout their spaces. This past year, they’ve plunged visitors into the magic of the African savanna at twilight; invited guests on a journey through the mysteries and vastness of our solar system; and, of course, reimagined the Crystal Palace as an even more decadent architectural marvel. Recently, the Cube entrance area was also home to the “Cave” installation, which, as its name suggests, recreated a cavern filled with waterfalls, rocky edges, and, from above, a soft glimmer of light.

Beyond the Cube, INSPIRE also features a 15,000-seat multi-purpose performance venue; a digital entertainment street called the Aurora, which is canopied by a high-resolution, 150-meter-long (about 492 feet) LED display; and the Rotunda, where a kinetic chandelier hangs.

“At INSPIRE, we believe inspiration is the catalyst for experiencing the world in a fresh and exhilarating way,” the resort writes. “We invite you to a space where the joy of discovery, the pleasure of unparalleled comfort, and the thrill of exciting activities converge into a symphony of experiences.”

    Sited on a site slightly under an acre in the heart of the Pacific Palisades area of Los Angeles, the site for this estate residence descends over thirty feet from top to bottom. Narrow at the street and widening toward the rear, the building was designed to appear as a very private single story structure from the street and expand as the house moves into the site. At just under 14,000 sq. ft. the house was conceived of as a California Modernist Estate the building utilizes the site slope and widening to create a wing typology each reaching into the site to capture garden spaces, set up views and account for service amenities. Designed for peak privacy to the street, there are a series of site walls and fencing that define the property edge. After passing through the gate, the entry to the house is through a descending Entry Garden with water feature with a view through the house to the slopes of Will Rodgers State Park beyond. Shaped as a modified T, the wings of the house extend into the landscape creating separate wings dedicated to the elaborate programming of the building. Containing formal spaces for Entry, Living and Dining the house also offers a large entertainment style kitchen, Large Family Room, Library, 16 person Theater, Wine Cellar, Gym with Spa Bath including Sauna and Steam Room, secondary winter closets, dedicated two bedroom Guest House as well as six bedrooms including a Master Suite over 1,500 square feet with his and hers baths and closets as well as a garage for seven plus additional carport parking for three. All of this is balanced with a series of large exterior decks, patios and pool all wrapping around the stately eighty-foot tall Eucalyptus tree, which served as the aesthetic basis for the materiality of the building. Balancing the solidity of the extensive board form concrete walls is an expansive use of glass and the warmth of stained wood siding throughout the building. The remainder of the building is wrapped in integral colored steel troweled stucco. This palette is based on the colors and tones of the tree that is the center of the garden. Passing materials from the interior to the exterior, doors disappearing into internal pockets and flooring extending onto the decks and patios all help to create a seamless relationship for the interior to the exterior, house to land. This relationship realizes a full use of the site for its entire acre site.
