Cape Town based architecture firm SAOTA has completed a new home in Los Angeles, California, that draws inspiration from the famous Stahl House, designed by Pierre Koenig.
Let’s take a look around…
Upon arriving at the home, there are large curved white walls accented by stone and olive trees, with the entryway highlighted by lighting.
