Fabrication: Our client had seen a hanging wine racking system using using rods and wood blocks... she wanted a focal point in the house. We developed the design and layout, and proposed embedding the system into the ceiling and floor. Two different custom wine cellar makers build prototypes for this... both used threaded rod and sleeves, neither worked. So we took it over. - 375 Mahogany Blocks w/ 1650 Holes 50 Stainless Rods 850 lock Collars - Our prototype relied on laser-cut steel jigs to precisely align lock collars on stainless rods. Steel plates in the ceiling hold the assembly up, plates in the floor keep it aligned. - Built with the help of some talented young architects in our office: Carolyn @carolynnnnnhey Cary @stfumanchu And Christina @misunxck who really took over the assembly of this project and made it her own. Installed with Vista Construction and @tyka_collective - #telemachus #santamonica #customwinecellar #modernwinecellar #fabrication #design #singlefamily #instaarch #finishes #telemachusfabircaton #craft #architecture #architecturestudio #design #superarchitects #next_top_architects #instaarch
Wine room at our 14th street project in Santa Monica. Telemachus racking system. We got our contractors license and formed Telemachus Fabrication, Inc in 2017 to give us greater ability to be involved in the construction of our work. When we design these pieces, we think about process and how they will be built. Sometimes we do it ourselves. Check out our process photos. - #telemachus #santamonica #customwinecellar #modernwinecellar #fabrication #design #singlefamily #instaarch #finishes #telemachusfabircaton #craft #architecture #architecturestudio #design #superarchitects #next_top_architects #instaarch

Finally - photography of our 14th Street house in Santa Monica. Great clients make great projects. On this one, we built the guest house and Pool first, moved the family to the back of the site, then demoed and rebuilt the main house. This project has an open center spine that organizes the program and pulls you through to the back yard. Excellent build by @rtabbottconstruction awesome kitchen by our favorite: @bulthaupsantamonica - - #santamonica #finishes #telemachusfabircaton #craft #singlefamily #architecture #architecturephotogrophy #architecturestudio #design #superarchitects #next_top_architects #instaarch
Preview of our Santa Monica Residence: 40’ from floor to ceiling, looking at the guest house in the back yard.

Berkeley St, Santa Monica - this is our second of three houses on Berkeley. Understated on the outside but this place has a vast and interesting interior.

Back to beautiful Hermosa Beach. The very first start-to-finish project of my career working with my mentor - the extremely facile Bill Adams. Then and Now. We are refreshing interior finishes… what does it mean when your career has outlasted coats of lacquer? It should be said that the house has been really well lived in. It looks great inside and out. Timeless, but with the unmistakable spirit of the family that has grown up in it. - - #Singlefamily #familylife #hermosabeach #transitions
