Architect Aaron Neubert AIA designed the N-HN House for his own growing family, replacing an original 1920's bungalow. The residence maximizes a compact footprint that achieves a primary objective: to engage the multiple landscapes of the property. Exterior rooms extend from three main living space within the house: the kitchen, living room and master suite, more than doubling the total sqaure footage. Three double-leafed glass pocket doors act as valves to modulate environmental exposure , allowing the family a direct connection to the landscape, while maintaing a comfortable indoor temperature throughout the year.

The interior is organized around a central staircase, with guest suite, garage and laundry at the street level; a main level with kitchen/lounge, living room, dining room and children's bedrooms on the main floor; and a master suite on the top floor. Large windows frame the home's micro landscape, as well as the hills of Silver Lake, and offer the added benefit of natural, ambient light throughout the day, limiting the need for most artificial lighting.

The exterior building materials consist of cast in-place board-formed concrete, transparently stained fiber cement board, vertical grain western cedar and steel-troweled stucco. The interiors consist of reclaimed hem-fir wood flooring, Douglas fir cabinetry, soapstone and limestone counters, recycled glass tiles, recycled denim insulation and low-voc paints throughout.

The N-HN House is located at 3052 Berkeley Circle in Silver Lake.
