The American firm Donaldson + Partners drew inspiration from the geometry of precious stones to design Fractal-Facade House, a sculptural residence located in Southern California. The project stands on a 0.8-hectare plot in Beverly Hills, in the Trousdale neighborhood, from where the house opens up in a V shape towards downtown Los Angeles and the Pacific Ocean.
Designed for a client in the financial sector who divides his time between the east and west coasts of the United States, the house features innovative cladding made of fiberglass-reinforced polymer panels manufactured in San Francisco, with natural shell inlays that give it a stone-like texture. With 21,000 square feet, the house is organized into a main floor and a basement, combining monumentality and material precision.
