Walker Workshop

Beverly Hills, California

Site size: 151,584 square feet

Project size: 2,720 square feet

Program: A new residence connected to a concert space contained within a 1940s barn.

Location: Three acres in a hilly and remote section of Beverly Hills, CA.

Solution: The architects connected a new house to an existing barn that they repurposed for a recital space. The bedrooms on the second level offer views of the trees and woodland through expansive areas of glazing.

Construction and materials: Since the renovated property is situated in a high-fire zone, the use of flame-resistant materials, such as Ipe inside and out, was important. The overall structure is a mix of steel-moment frames and conventional wood joist construction.
