80S BBS LOS ANGELES
Residential
Los Angeles 2021
80s BBs is a social media formed and world wide web nurtured collective between 4 creatives in 4 different countries
This two-floor loft in a former Downtown industrial building in Los Angeles marks the beginning of our creative partnership. Meticulously designed, the space caters to the unique dynamic of three romantically involved individuals, each contributing to a shared vision of aesthetic satisfaction and personal expression
The design blends bold, vibrant colors with elements of grit and grandeur neon-lit columns rise against curving glass block walls, creating a striking contrast of textures and forms. The space culminates in a stone-clad bathroom, offering a serene and tactile experience
The bathroom was thoughtfully designed with both the Los Angeles climate and ancient history in mind. The walls and ceiling are clad in locally sourced stone, while bespoke basin systems and a custom shower have been crafted from desert sandcrete, dyed with cochineal a natural pigment used for centuries. To make the most of the region's dry climate, water is harvested from a rooftop Chultún, an ancient rainwater storage system, which is connected to a gravital irrigation network. This system supplies water for both the bathroom and the courtyard's plantings, seamlessly blending sustainability with design
