Brooks Avenue House is modern house with luxury interior design located in Venice, CA, USA was designed by Bricault design. This house built with steel and wood materials on 490.5 sqm site areas. A primary design driver was to create a seamless connection between inside and outside, while eliminating the need for air conditioning.

To this end, a central sculptural staircase links the ground floor with the rooftop deck, while doubling as a chimney to draw cooling breezes through the house. On the main floor, a sequence of pivoting doors opens the house to the courtyard, while on the second floor, windows fold back and full-height exterior panels slide into walls. A system of cedar battens serve as a shading device along much of the addition.

The house features a high-efficiency combination boiler, which supplies both radiant in-floor heating and domestic hot water. A hot water recirculation loop makes hot water available “on demand,” while reducing consumption. Other features include low-flush toilets and non-toxic, low-VOC finishes, which are used throughout the house.
