A. Quincy Jones' Smalley House
A. Quincy Jones' Smalley House
Archibald Quincy Jones FAIA was a Los Angeles-based architect and educator known for innovative buildings in the modernist style and for urban planning that pioneered the use of greenbelts and green design.
He built Smalley House in Holmby Hills (1969-73) and is one of Jones’s largest single-family residences. Bought by Shulamit Nazarian in 2006, she did not have the house redesigned, only the garden. However now, after living in the house for a long time, she worked with Los Angeles based designer Pamela Shamsiri to adjust it to fit the family's changing life situations, in particular her sons' imminent departure for college.
In the entire renovation, Shamsiri and Nazarian endeavoured to spead the Jones design language. In fact they aimed to further emphasize the key features of his architecture.
