description

Lovell House or “Health House”, built in Los Angeles for physician Philip Lovell. The idea was to create an architectural structure that would be as healthy as possible for humans. The structure is inscribed in the surrounding landscape, with terraces descending from a steep hill, enveloped in nature, making up one whole with it. It uses a steel frame that was installed in forty working hours; the rest of the elements were assembled on site. The main materials are glass and concrete.
