XTEN Architecture's Nakahouse
The Nakahouse, a stunning, minimalist house in Hollywood Hills. It was designed in collaboration with XTEN Architecture (a California-based architectural firm). The home was created to maximize the natural beauty of its location. It has been featured in numerous architectural publications and exhibitions.
The XTEN Architecture group follows simple lines of contemporary architecture, but incorporates an avantgarde feeling. This house, known as the "Nakahouse", was created to replace an 1960s house that was located on a slope under the Hollywood sign. The architects designed a house that was stunning but also functional within the constraints of budgetary and zoning regulations. The firm opted to use the existing foundation of the house to create a new floor plan, rather than build another one from scratch.
