When clients Mehran and Laila Taslimi, owners of Taslimi Construction Co., decided to redo their house in Santa Monica, the couple wanted a design that would integrate landscape and architecture and achieve LEED Platinum certification. Local firm Fleetwood/Fernandez designed a 5,600-square-foot house with two levels constructed of poured concrete and a third level wrapped in an Ipe wood–framed rainscreen. Interior and exterior glass walls carry the sense of the outdoors throughout the interior.
