Carmona. New pool and ADU conversion… this is a super nice little project - we love the conversation of existing spaces. And, you know, swimming pool.

In her talk, “How They Learned About L.A.” Emily will explore some of the photographs and photographers that helped bring Southern California architecture to the world’s attention. The bulk of the conversation, however, focuses on her latest book Wayne Thom: Photographing the Late Modern. A key primer to late-twentieth century Modernism, this monograph chronicles Thom’s photographic practice and the architectural and urban environment in which he worked. An innovative chronicler of the booming West Coast urbanism of the 1960s and 70s, Thom’s photographs of key projects by path-breaking architecture firms such as William Pereira & Associates, Edward Durell Stone, SOM, Gio Ponti, John Portman, I. M. Pei, and A. Quincy Jones helped establish the idea of cool architectural glamour of the era.
Leisure World Remodel. Telemachus Studio build with @tyka_collective. There is a chance my mom has most contemporary in LW, but it’s not a high bar.

------------------
Carl Smith, AIA is a licensed architect and general contractor. He received a Bachelor of Architecture degree from California Polytechnic University, Pomona in 1997. Carl was a founding member of Telemachus Studio in 1995, became a partner with William Adams in 2004. Carl has taught design studio at multiple levels at Cal Poly and Los Angeles Institute of Architecture and Design (LAIAD). Carl is currently co-director at LAIAD where he teaches advanced design and is responsible for development of academic programs and advancement of the school.
"Field Notes" explores Carl’s somewhat unlikely path through education, fabrication, building, and into an architectural career. We’ll look at how early influences affect the work of the school and a small vibrant architectural practice with a wide variety of projects and close relationship to construction and field work.

Closely involved in this one - Architect, contractor, occasional installer. Completely remodeled condo unit in Leisure World for my mother. Cabinet installation by a proper socially-distant crew of 1 architect. We made one custom walnut cabinet here in this wall of cabinets to make the whole thing (hopefully) special. -

Sometimes projects are meaningful beyond their scope or scale. This is one of those… nice to see this beautiful remodel come out of the ground and fit into the landscape all at once. First of our desert projects. This one with @tealehathewayart and @marshallvanderhoof -

Some words from Kierin. We look forward to being able to be together again with our friends and family.

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 -

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.

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 -

Preview of our Santa Monica Residence: 40’ from floor to ceiling, looking at the guest house in the back yard. This was a great client to work with… she wanted a “dramatic” volume in the middle of the house. Check.
