Here is my recent commission, a digital illustration called “an imaginary Italian music salon”. The patron is painted to be surrounded by their favorite Italian baroque composers in the patron’s required composition.

-Pulcinella(the cat which was said to be Scarlatti’s cat and inspired him to compose his Cat Fugue)

-Giovanni Battista Pergolesi (in green)

-Alessandro Stradella (in pink)

-the person who commissioned this work (in green and blue)

-Giacomo Facco(in red)

On the wall:

-Leonardo Leo

The original layout of site and dwelling were well planned to ensure privacy from the street and to address spectacular views over the LA basin, capturing the full panorama from Downtown to Century City, with mountains to the east and ocean to the south. On the client’s instruction to expunge all traces of the original Spanish style architecture, SAOTA decided to strip the existing house back to its timber skeleton, maximize the square footage and, by reinforcing or extending where necessary, create generous openings to draw the beautiful West Coast light, the rolling vistas and the verdant setting deep into the floorplan. This concept of “inviting the outside in” encapsulates the SAOTA approach, and at Stradella these informed design decisions ranging from space planning to façade design, landscaping, lighting, window configuration and shading details.
