(LOG)arithmic Bungalow

Altadena, CA
2025

The 'LOGarithmic Bungalow' is a prototype for a duplex designed with fire resilient measures. From the outside the building's steel frames are buttressed in compressed earthen block, which interact with the interior. The floor plan flips the code enforced relationship of an ADU in the back and proposes the smaller unit in the front of the plot, maximizing privacy for the larger family home.

The negotiation between the space happens through a sequence of choreographed walled gardens that allows for sharing and intimacy.

The roof structure is made from compressed earth providing further structural stability in the case of fire.
