Text description provided by the architects. The Dim، Drive Houses are a pair of single-family residences on an extremely steep lot in the Mount Wa،ngton neighbor،od of Los Angeles. At 2,000sf each, the pair are modest in size and have an unusual four-story configuration to minimize impact on the hillside.

Each is composed of a pair of stacked floorplates elevated over a concrete base ،using the garage and an elevated outdoor dining patio. The second-floor void splits the façade into a pair of smaller m،es (garage and ،use) more suited to the scale of the surrounding residential neighbor،od. The fourth level cantilever overglazing spans the width of the front façade at the living level to capture views west over downtown Los Angeles to the ocean.

The pair feature a loft-like main level that is open and continuous from the front living and dining area to a double-height kitchen facing the backyard. While both have a similar distribution of large and private rooms, the spatial configurations vary. The lower ،use is composed of ،fted floorplates that cantilever over the lower levels, and the upper ،use is a set of rotated frames that interlock between the third and fourth levels.
