This 2,000 square foot modern ground-up residence in Burbank, California was designed to balance clean architectural form with warmth and livability. The massing is composed of simple geometric volumes, articulated through layered planes, recessed balconies, and deep overhangs that provide shade and visual depth. A restrained material palette of smooth white stucco, natural wood cladding, and dark metal accents creates a contemporary yet approachable exterior expression.
