A+M House / Eric Owen Moss Architects - Completed in 2022 and already published in major publications, this Architects house is now for rent: The A+M House is located in Santa Monica Canyon next to a canal, a block from the Pacific Ocean. The prominent, exterior shape of the house transforms vertically from rectangular at the roof to a variously curving plan at the ground-'the guitar'. The perimeter walls are in continuous transformation between those two plan shapes. That change in shape is particularly evident at the corners which begin with a 90-degree plan at the roof and end as a 10-foot radius at the ground plane. The four-story house is organized around a central atrium crossed by a bridge at each level and including a stair to all floors and the roof deck which looks over the sea. A theatre, symposium area, and multiple bedrooms and bathrooms surround the stair and bridges. Two parking spaces are covered by curving, bowl-shaped soffits that form the rubberized exterior of the sloping interior theatre seating one level above. The house is conveniently located adjacent to local restaurants, Canyon Square, State beach, Canyon Elementary, Rustic Canyon Park, Santa Monica and Palisades proper.
