BEautifully designed multi-use space on four lots ·

This unique property, designed by renowned architects Claesson Koivisto Rune, offers a seamless blend of art and living space. Currently being used as a single residence, the structure consists of two interconnected buildings: a private house and an open living space, both joined by a shared courtyard. The long façade walls of each building are connected, creating the illusion of one continuous, elongated structure. A freestanding wall of moire aluminum, slightly off angle, adds a striking false perspective, making the courtyard appear even longer when viewed from the street.

Subtle architectural distortions further enhance this play on perspective. The long façade has a gentle slant toward the back alley, and both the gallery and house feature large windows and doors that change size proportionally, creating a subtle sense of distortion only noticeable upon closer inspection.

The front building itself is both expansive and intimate, with flexible spaces shaped by walls that do not fully connect to the floor or ceiling. A skylight illuminates the main space, while a secluded inner courtyard serves as both a private garden for the home and a potential sculpture garden extension for the larger building.

This property is an architectural masterpiece that redefines the relationship between art, living, and space. Perfect for a collector or creative individual seeking a harmonious blend of life and artistic expression. The zoning is such that the main space could be reappropriated as a gallery or other commercial space.

The buildings sit on two lots and there is an additional lot with a partial lot available offering plenty of space for a casita, pool or an additional building to create a private compound in the center of town. In addition to central heating in cooling in the spaces, there are solar panels on the roof. The back building has a sitting room and separate shower area with an outdoor space that also has a setup for an outdoor shower. The kitchen opens up to the extra lots to the west and there is a private parking area off the alley.

This listing is a unique opportunity to own an architecturally significant building that has many different usage options or as a one of a kind private home.
