Norwich Drive Residence by Clive Wilkinson
Clive Wilkinson acquired the site adjacent to colorful Melrose Avenue in West Hollywood and constructed a new house for his own use.
To express the transition from commercial to small scale residential, the construction is a simple cubic stucco, with exposed wood structure, and softened with landscaping.
The house is entered through a dense olive grove, and opens up with a long view through the low glass screened living room to the rear courtyard, which is dominated by a 90 square meter swimming pool.
Inside, the large double-height social space of the kitchen-dining room overlooks the pool. The master suite is located in a rear, with its own courtyard, and has a bathroom that enjoys large glass doors to the pool and a shower that connects directly, allowing a convenient way to shower after swimming. The upstairs area is devoted to flexible bedroom, office and studio space.
