Dining Room • 4048 Farmouth Dr, Los Angeles, CA 90027
The open dining area now features segmented spaces. Vertical slatted screens define individual zones. Each enclosure offers a specific dining arrangement. An integrated storage unit provides varied surfaces. The balcony extends this theme of defined areas.
Warm, dark wood screens create permeable boundaries. Textured plaster walls absorb sound. Light wood flooring maintains a consistent base. Seating upholstery uses a repeated geometric pattern. Downward-focused task lighting illuminates each zone.
This room creates focused activity zones.
Design Philosophy
The design creates smaller, distinct zones within a larger room. This implements Structural Repetition through repeated screen installations. Layered Privacy is achieved by defining increasingly protected areas. Each enclosure offers a focused experience.
Spatial Narrative
Your eye moves past the city view to the defined screen enclosures. You walk into a specific zone, choosing a space for focused activity. You sit at a surface illuminated by direct task lighting.
Light Study
Morning sun streams across the floor from the expansive windows, brightening the light wood. Evening brings the city lights, countered by soft, downward-focused task lighting. Each zone receives its own direct, controlled light.
Living Vignette
A hand reaches for a document under the focused light. The quiet murmur of conversation remains within a single enclosure.
