Flip Flop House By Dan Brunn

Flip Flop House is a house in Venice, California.

It was designed by Dan Brunn, and offers spectacular views over the adjacent beach.

Flip Flop house of Dan Brunn:

"The house of conception began with the figure of neighboring houses and carefully immersion in daily routines of customers. An elegant couple in city arts and entertainment scene, live customers and work together and share a common passion for photography. They also have an impressive collection of digital artworks that she longed to present themselves, but retain wide view of lot ocean. Many houses in Venice are designed to be maximized accessibility on the beach and have little interaction with active pedestrian networks in the neighborhood. In the design of the flip flop house, there was a need to the couple's art to use as a medium to communicate with the surrounding communities. So certain design elements that are usually limited exclusively to its mechanical features are reborn in display devices. The adjustable nature of the rotating walls The third story allows to mutate the facade, it is revealing or concealing artwork. As well as provide dramatic views of the beach, these walls describe a flowing symmetry; they easily swing open to a perfectly aligned view with surrounding palm trees spread.

a cool minimalist sophistication is, the facade of the private house is in its simplicity and dominated subtly deceptive side with projecting and retracting floors and ceilings. The darkening of the inner pillars of the house with an extensive system of translucent glazing increases the optical illusion on a visual push and pull, to advise the viewer, such as the walls and ceilings are holding supports. The massive overhangs facilitate not only plenty of outdoor balcony, but also as a continuous surface folded in itself appear

Integral to the design principle is the choreography of circulation. dynamic relationships abound in the spatial and structural arrangement, the light conditions and the surfaces of materials. As a crossing through space, a pattern of foot gives that computes with several viewpoints and visual impact. This color navigates rhythm is determined by the central glass staircase, where one constantly presents itself at a right angle between the bifurcating interiors and the vastness of the unfurling vistas interrupted.

A duet of packaging and folding is systemic in all aspects of the design approach. All target applications are running, such as stainless steel surrounds perfectly polished columns, lacquered glass spills over kitchen countertops and cabinets and translucent glazing depends smoothly around the staircase. This magical manipulation of the material reaches a perfect pitch with the terrazzo peeling free to fold from the floor and gracefully glide along each tread stairs, appearing to a liquefied sheet to be made of stone.

As materials serpent and lurking on the structure and the device, the binary nature of dark matte grays, which plays in the shiny white ambient pop a powerful trick of the eye with a reverse the positive and negative space. The interior balance between floating and fixed masses foils allows sunlight into rooms with a meaningful geometric way slide. The overall layout in connection with the variety of materiality allows the designer to shape and form all the elements of space, also incoming daylight.

Dynamic diagonal edges keep the visual pendulum swinging like the kitchen custom furniture exudes curved lines that carry the eye of the ocean views and the master bathroom back trimly opens onto a open private garden terrace to the sky above.

The game of hard and soft, matt and reflective, shadow and light permeates every room within this 3-story house. Expansive rooms flow seamlessly with endless views of the sea, as the flip-flop house unfolds as a single refined band of space and light "
