El Sereno Residence
Mediterranean Dining Room, Los Angeles
The dining room is a theater stage as the smooth stucco'd, parabolic curved opening frames the view of the food forest (and bistro patio) beyond via a corner unit of aluminum framed sliding glass doors that have been pocketed into the walls. The exterior concrete floor blurs the threshold between outside and inside continuing into the dining room. The deep window seat offers a place to read with the constellation pattern of recessed ceiling lights overhead.
