The name Eels Nest is given to very narrow lots in Japan - typically 5 meters in width (15 feet). The width of this lot is exactly 15 feet and so shares at least one interesting quality with some Japanese urban building projects.
The existing building was originally built in 1929 on the same size lot that it sits on today - approx 780 sq.ft. For this reason it is a very unique property.
Special planning permission was required to extend the house up an additional story increasing the usable interior space by double.
The views from the roof extend as far as the Hollywood sign and the San Gabriel mountains yet the house is surrounded by dense urban development.
The interior was designed to maximize the availability of daylight and the stair well is what conveys this light like a conduit.

Wow and Flutter Speaker System by Tracy Wilkinson and Simon Storey for Store L.A.
This speaker system was originally inspired by an old pile of discarded speakers, Wow and Flutter finds new life through different combinations and various stacking. It is literally a mountain of speakers. Each cabinet is made from MDF for excellent strength and covered in a wood veneer. The system is designed to be 3 way and has a left and right set of speakers. How you arrange your speakers is up to you.
