AIA LA Tour: Architects Design For Themselves
Author:Philip FerratoArchitects use their own homes as design labs, exploring design ideas and making them concrete (sometimes literally) for their own pleasure. The home of architect Michael Rachlin of Rachlin Partners is no exception. 20 years ago, he chose an earthquake-damaged house without much style and a bad kitchen. In the course of two renovations over the intervening decades, Rachlin has reworked it into a gleaming white pavilion that still respects its origins.
Rachlin Partners is one of Southern California’s leading public project firms with a portfolio that encompasses schools and healthcare facilities plus complex programs like the rehabilitation of Los Angeles City Hall.
