The challenge was to graft the house onto the hillside and create a suitable entry experience and enough living space bearing in mind the steep topography. Our solution was to separate the garage and parking area from the entry of the house. This took advantage of the street slope to allow pedestrians to enter at the main level of the home while giving us the opp… - [Point Place](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/point-place-pj-vj~743913) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 17 - Description: This house was designed for a steep lot overlooking the ocean. While technically a remodel there is nothing left but a vague memory of a couple of the walls of the original house. The previous house was boxy and did not take account of the spectacular views of the beach below. The curves allow the house to take full advantage of the views. The body of the house is almost completely glass with the structural elements exposed. The various floor levels reflect out desire to achieve more generous he… - [Davidson Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/davidson-residence-pj-vj~743657) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 19 - Description: Our design for this house reflected our clients desire for a house that would relate primarily to its garden and would have an open contemporary feel. The main living space is tall and includes a 30’-0” retractable glass wall that allows the kitchen and living room to feel like part of the garden on warm days. The front of the house is curved and finished in dark metal panels, contrasting with the horizontal lines of the rest of the house and highlighting the planting in the front yard. The pale… - [Tanager](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/tanager-pj-vj~743487) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 15 - Description: This home on Tanager is the second of three we have designed on this tiny but very exclusive street in West Hollywood. Known for being on its own promontory, the views from this street are some of the best in the city. This house has fantastic westerly views allowing it to pick up all of Beverly Hills with Santa Monica and the ocean beyond. The design of the home allowed us to pick up peek a boo views of down town LA from the office which is located above the garage entrance. The house is approa… - [Ellis](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/ellis-pj-vj~741801) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 18 - Description: Our clients wanted to move to a smaller home now that their children had moved out and chose a street to street lot high on a hill overlooking Laguna Beach and its famous beaches. The beauty of this property is that views are available from both levels. A key issue was trying to decide where to locate parking and entry. There was early opposition from the local review board which led to a split solution where parking is taken from the street below with guests entering from above. The garage can… - [San Vicente](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/san-vicente-pj-vj~741671) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 23 - Description: The new residence is a located on a large flat lot adjacent to a busy street. Our goal was to design a beautiful family home while minimizing street noise. It is essential that the outside world be left behind and our ides focused on creating a zone of decompression as you enter the property. The street is heavily screened with landscaping and high walls. The drive court is separated from the entry courtyard by a glass screen wall. The landscaped courtyard contains a water element to further scr… - [Blue Jay Way](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/blue-jay-way-pj-vj~740090) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 21 - Description: This house is located on a spectacular lot above Sunset Strip with panoramic views of down town and west Los Angeles all the way to Santa Monica, the Pacific and Catalina Island. The design of the house maximizes access to the view such that all the main living spaces look out over it. The house is large almost 7000sf total and is divided in half by a water feature and a pool. Our client wanted a house designed around a long pool and this became the central design element of the project. It begi… - [Sunset Strip](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/sunset-strip-pj-vj~740035) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 18 - Description: The house occupies a hilltop lot in one of the most desirable locations in Los Angeles. It is long and narrow and the primary view was only available from one end of the lot. Our solution was to create a compound of three buildings; the main house, garage and wellness as well as a guest house. Passing through the gate, a landscaped hedge leads to the drive court which is centrally located between the three buildings. The garage sits in a spot that enjoys spectacular views of the surrounding cany… [See all 8 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/architects-and-building-designers/mcclean-design-pfvwus-pf~59548782) --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
