Moreing Road Residence

A Quincy Jones inspired renovation of an original 1960's dwelling by Mountford Architects

The Moreing Road Project started as a series of conversations and sketches inspired by a home commissioned in the early 1950's by the actor Gary Cooper, and built in the Hollywood hills by the prolific LA architect Quincy Jones. The outcome is a design that accommodates and contains family life within three zones: formal, informal and alfresco. The three zones, represented respectively by the grand fire place, the cantilevered mezzanine and the outdoor courtyard, are strongly distinguished from one another yet are connected to each other visually. This allows an already generous space to seem even more spacious and ensures well utilized space
