Dean Larkin Architectural Design Project Makes California Homes Cover
September 30, 2021- Los Angeles, California – Dean Larkin Design is pleased to announce that one of their architectural design projects is being featured on the California Homes Magazine cover. The September-October issue is being released this week and will feature a minimalist project by designer Norm Wogan, architect Dean Larkin Design and landscape designer Serna Kelmes.
The design pays homage to Kappe, Ellwood and Neutra and celebrates the architectural history of the canyon. The clients have a very active lifestyle and wanted their home to be an oasis. In order to create a sense of privacy, a “lake” was created with poured concrete walls that are arranged to separate the public and private areas of the house. Visitors must cross stepstone pads on the “lake” to get to the glass entry.
A few of the design highlights are
- Lap pool entry from the home’s primary bathroom
- The main powder room has a front glass wall with a water curtain for privacy
- Natural walnut cabinetry
- Aged oak floors and ceilings
Dean Larkin makes use of natural light in all of his architectural design projects and this one is no exception. You can see his love of light in the use of glass walls, windows and partitions throughout the home. In addition to this recognition on California Homes cover, Dean’s work has received praise in The Robb Report, Los Angeles Times, Vanity Fair, Architectural Digest and numerous other regional and national publications.
