The Grasshopper House
Niagara Construction (Ronald Kolodziej) and Lee Mundwiler Architects, FAIA (Cara Lee and Stephan Mundwiler, FAIA, Architects).
Perched high in the Echo Park area of Los Angeles, this residence is a prime example of pristine minimalist modern architecture. The open plan is accented by exposed structural steel, perforated metal, and polished concrete walls and floors, softened by hardwood cabinetry, marble counters, and full-height glass doors and windows oriented to views. A large wood deck, full-size roof deck, and covered patio connect the home to nature. High-end appliances, European hardware, and luxurious fixtures produce a peak experience.
