Following our previous visit to\u00a0The Turret Collaborative<\/a>, we are moving our\u00a0Meet Your Next Employer series<\/a>\u00a0to Los Angeles this week to explore the work of\u00a0SPF:architects<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Founded in 1988, the firm has built a diverse portfolio, including several schemes previously reported on by Archinect such as the Obama Sports Complex<\/a> in Los Angeles and the LA River pedestrian bridge<\/a>. \u201cOur practice is anchored in a rigorous pragmatic, holistic philosophy,\u201d the firm explains. \u201cWe aim to uncover truths, pursue the unexplored, and challenge conventions in architectural and urban organization; we speak the language of our builders and engineers, and we have a strong culture of critique and communication.\u201d<\/p>\n

Over on Archinect Jobs, the firm is\u00a0currently hiring<\/a>\u00a0for several positions to join their Los Angeles team. For candidates interested in applying for a position or anybody interested in learning more about the firm\u2019s output, we have rounded up five unique Los Angeles homes by SPF:architects that exemplify the firm\u2019s ethos.<\/p>\n

Located in Beverly Hills, the Caverhill Residence is a three-story, 4,500-square-foot home designed on a challenging hillside wedge lot. Expanding on a site once occupied by a much smaller structure, the house spans the ridge frontage and descends into the slope in a modified wedge form. Angled fins define the street facade, while interior spaces connect to over 1,000 square feet of covered terraces. The design integrates circulation across all levels, culminating in a pool and landscaped outdoor areas.<\/p>\n

SPF:a completed the renovation of the Taylor Beach House, a 1977 residence in Malibu originally designed by modernist architect Jerrold E. Lomax. The two-year project modernized the 5,000-square-foot oceanfront home with updated materials, glazing, and structural upgrades while preserving Lomax\u2019s emphasis on daylight and transparency. Key changes include an operable skylight, glass floors, and a metal-and-glass staircase.<\/p>\n

The Orum Residence is an 18,800-square-foot, three-level home designed with a distinctive three-winged plan. Wrapped in custom glazing of varying opacities, the glass facade reflects panoramic views across Los Angeles. A central glass-and-steel staircase organizes circulation while connecting the home\u2019s wings, which separate public, family, and private areas. Amenities include terraces, a pool, and a guesthouse known as The Cube.<\/p>\n

Located between the Pacific Ocean and the Santa Monica Mountains, the Ziering Residence was designed to balance integration with its surroundings and openness to the landscape. A discreet street facade of Ipe wood battens conceals the entry, while the rear opens fully with sliding glass panels to terraces, gardens, and a pool. The curved plan organizes communal and private spaces along a flowing layout.<\/p>\n
