The Tree House by KAA Design Group
Another house that will be part of the Fall Home Tour put on by the Los Angeles chapter of the American Institute of Architects is the Tree House by KAA Design Group.
Located in the desirable “tree section” of Manhattan Beach, this home reinforces the viability of indoor/outdoor living along the Southern California coast. Locally sourced sustainable materials are, whenever possible and relevant to the design concept, left exposed to reveal their natural finishes.
The Tree House’s combination of wood, concrete and glass creates a nurturing aesthetic that feels as warm and familiar as it does forward and modern. The Modernist attention to detail is expressed throughout with hidden heating and cooling functions built in to allow for natural ventilation.

this is great architecture – much light and rooms where you can live in not only a “show room”

This design is shock and jaw dropingly beautiful, comfortable, livable, and attainable. It is so absolutely refreshing to see a design that is not arctic and unfeasible. Everything flows magnificently.

There is a good combination between nature and interior design. It feels comfortable!

It’s not smart to store wine against ovens.
