FINNE Architects have completed a new house in Venice, California, that’s located on a long and narrow lot.
The house is comprised of a dramatic series of folded roof planes, as well as a collage of textured metal and wood exterior surfaces.

The entryway leads to a dining area with oversized 8-ft by 10-ft sliding glass doors that open directly to the pool, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor environment.

Back inside, the kitchen features both wood cabinetry and a quartz kitchen island with a cast-glass breakfast counter. Hanging above the island is a delicate custom steel light fixture designed by FINNE.

In the master bathroom, high operating clerestory windows are used to reduce heat gain in summer months, while a large mirror helps to reflect light throughout the interior.
