About E4 architects_studio
Our Vision: At E4 Architects_studio we believe in the importance of place. For us architecture is about finding those special places that become our homes or work environments. What guides our design is the belief that real places emerge through a thoughtful convergence of performance, comfort, function, and aesthetics. From the moment we put pen to paper or click a mouse, our ultimate goal is to realize timeless and unique projects. Each project is viewed as an opportunity to explore building methods, systems, and materials toward the production of a unique building. The buildings are envisioned as total systems with the aim of integrating sustainable approaches where such opportunities reside. We seek to provide clients with opportunities for place-making, sustainability, beauty, and healthy environments. We view clients as partners in the process of discovering great and unique places. We view design as a collaborative endeavor with the goal of fulfilling clients' wishes and materializing their visions.

  | Alpine Street | Jan 2012 | This single story home of light wood framed post & beam construction was originally known as the Sechler House, designed by the Pasadena firm, Nyberg & Bissner Architecture & Engineering and constructed in 1954, and is identified in the 2009 Cultural Resources of the Recent Past historic resources survey as eligible for designation as a landmark home. It is a notable example of the Modern Ranch style with character-defining features of: a cruciform plan integrating interior and exterior spaces; wide, low sloped gabled roof forms with extended boxed eaves; large expanses of windows including groupings in gabled-ends; double solid-wood entry doors with a full height sidelight; tongue-and-groove redwood cladding milled to appear like battens in staggered relief; solid site walls (clad in redwood to match the cladding on the house) attached to the house; canyon-stone cladding and an attached carport/garage with a garage door matching the cladding on the house. The property also has several mature trees and other landscape features in the front yard. (Adapted from the Historic Preservation Commission Meeting on August 16, 2010). Since its construction in 1954, this home has remained virtually untouched throughout its life. The goal of this project is to update and modernize this property by adding additional living spaces, restoring the original home with new energy wise building systems, renew the exterior finish and add new interiors. The existing outdoor courtyard living spaces will be re-imagined with new hardscaping and appropriate drought tolerant indigenous plantings & landscape materials. The design of the new 2nd floor addition is not intended to replicate the original home, but recall the existing home's 4 prominent clerestory gables as a 5th "living gable", reinforcing the home's linear crucifix plan and strong east-west & north-south axis. The new addition is intended to set itself apart and float above the existing low-pitched rooflines. The intersection of the new addition and original building link to form a new partnership revealing an open interior space plan, transparent exterior walls, exposed structure and quality natural light. | $900k | Pasadena, CA |
