Lautner’s Arango House embodies the quintessential Modernist contrast of slab and volume. To advance this concept through parametric design, we studied natural nesting systems to occupy the space via a series of intricate meshes.

Commissioned by the Getty’s curators, the new 30 percent extension to the Arango House operates less as an additive structure and more as an integrated nesting element, inserted between the two large horizontal slabs of the main living room. The mesh acts as a circulation connector, stair enclosure and light filter; it simultaneously defines an enclosed seating nook and frames sweeping scenic vistas within the open living room’s expansive void.
