Sherman Oaks Residence
A modern two-story residential facade by CALLAN Architects featuring stacked geometric volumes, natural stone cladding, and warm wood highlights paired with lush native landscaping.
- What we like about this project
- The slender vertical window cutout in the solid right-hand stone volume cuts through the massing like a clean slot of-scale slot.
