Jacob Residence

Los Angeles, CA — Rick Clemenson, Architect

Designed by Richard Clemenson, the Jacob Residence is a study in warm modernism and spatial clarity. The home centers on a dramatic double-height great room, where floor-to-ceiling windows flood the space with natural light and frame sweeping views. Exposed structural bracing adds a subtle industrial edge while emphasizing the verticality of the space.

Inside, the interiors blend comfort with precision: slate flooring and wood finishes introduce natural textures, while custom cabinetry and geometric railings reflect Clemenson’s signature attention to detail. The long, linear pool becomes a defining architectural feature — extending along the façade and visually connecting the indoor and outdoor environments.

Across its spaces, the Jacob Residence demonstrates Clemenson’s ability to merge clean architectural lines with warm, livable interiors, resulting in a home that is modern, light-filled, and deeply inviting.
