Nestled in the Pacific Palisades foothills, the Tramonto Residence is a contemporary single-family home which
integrates the natural beauty of an adjacent state park. The placement of the home captures vistas overlooking the
canyon, the surrounding Santa Monica Mountains, and the California coastline meeting the Pacific Ocean.
The diffusion of the built form defines the approach for this 17,000 sqft home into the surrounding landscape. The
two-acre site embraces steep topography and contends with the context to inform the building’s siting and
orientation. Each portion of the home is terraced into the natural contours of the hillside, breaking up the
overall building mass while using its sub-grade structure to reinforce the hillside.
The program consists of two principal masses terracing with the natural contours of the site defined by a limited
material palette of limestone, high-performance glazing, and dark ipe wood. Tramonto’s design appropriates two
open terraces, one outward semi-public and another inward and private. A feature stair triangulates the
circulation around a reflecting pool leading to a mezzanine and bridge mirroring the sculpted assembly and
balancing the dialogue with the building’s geometry.
Tramonto Residence negotiates the challenging topography through defined massing and a natural, elegant material
palette. The design of the residence exemplifies the principles of indoor/outdoor living afforded by embracing the
temperate climate and natural beauty of the landscape and surrounding coastal bluffs.
