Modern Exterior

What Houzz contributors are saying:
This house, according to the architects, "presents raw, honest materials appropriate to the grittiness of the Venice [California] environment." The corner lot is defined by a wall composed of various materials, each one reiterated in the house's design. Walls of Cor-Ten steel are visible behind this wall and retractable awnings hang on a steel frame. A closer look...
Also by Ehrlich, but far removed stylistically than the previous house, is this Corten-steel clad corner house in Venice, close to the ocean yet urban in its immediate context. Bright orange sails shade the house (and pool between the fence and house) and soften the rust of the steel walls.
added by Bud Dietrich, AIA to Modern Awnings: Sails Shade the Home
Colorful, adjustable and big, the awnings at this California home go beyond mere window shades.
added by Bud Dietrich, AIA to Umbrella House Creates Shower of Inspiration
Whether the shade is created by linear slats or fabric, the idea is the same, the desire to wrap and shade the house. While the linear slats of the Umbrella House create a distinct and changing pattern of shadows on the home's surfaces, fabric provides a colorful and kinetic experience.Next: Hello Again, Umbrella HouseMore regional modern architecture:Chicago | Boston | Austin | NYC | NY Metro | Oregon | No. Calif. | San Francisco | Seattle | L.A.
An exterior wall articulates the perimeter edge of the property and inside creates Ehrlich's unique, somewhat inside-out take on Moroccan homes that open to hidden courtyards. This wall is composed of Trex, concrete blocks that match the ones used inside the house, and LUMAsite, a translucent combination of fiberglass and acrylic. The next edge is one that transforms; Ehrlich used a dynamic system of sunshades, mounted across the top and down the long street side of the exoskeleton to control temperature, light and privacy.

A fabric awning is one of my favorite architectural elements. These awnings have so many terrific qualities. They are kinetic, so not only can they be raised and lowered but they will move with the wind much like sails do. They add spots of bright, exciting color to any building. And fabric awnings have an impermanent and transient quality that plays nicely against the solidity and stiffness of a building. It's like the awnings are the soft counterbalance to a building's hard structure.
