LA JOLLA KNOLLS
La Jolla, CA
Elysian transformed the extensive hillside site of an iconic Homer Delawie house in tandem with Georgis and Mirgorodsky’s restoration and expansion. The initial perception of the minimalist floor-to-ceiling steel and glass structure on its steeply upward-sloping site as an ‘elegant tree house’ ultimately inspired their reinvention of the landscape.
Outdoor courtyards were conceived as settings for artworks, but also as artful objects in and of themselves. A pagoda-like bronze sculpture mounted on a black lava gravel pad in the front garden becomes the focal point for a curvy free-form patio off the master bedroom
