This Thai architect’s Venice Beach home brings together art, nature and California light

Architect Kulapat Yantrasast, founder of Why Architecture, has designed a three-storey Los Angeles home that blends art, nature and California light. The orthogonal block fronts the street but is hidden by tall plants, while exposed concrete, polycarbonate and glass materials adorn its facade. Large openings frame the swimming pool and garden, creating an open, social space that feels alive with light and wind.

The interior features a sculptural steel washbasin counter, a Nero Marquina marble counter, and various found objects from Asian, South American and African artists. Yantrasast's house reflects his desire for a home where nature is an integral part of everyday life, and where he can open up to the outdoors.
