It wasn’t just that they wanted a place to grow old in. David and Mark wanted a place to grow old with them—a house that would bear, with unfussy equanimity, the various marks of its making and remaking and maturation. “There’s a lot of ‘finish fetish’ with architects,” says dvdrss, an architect himself and director of design at frederickfisherandpartners in Los Angeles. “There’s a tendency that, with whatever you create, it has to stand still and never age.” That’s not the house they’ve built on a little footprint of 32 by 32 feet, along with a small studio for Mark, an artist, just a few steps away. Their single-story home, unassuming in the earthy black asphalt of its shingle exterior and its plan of four equal-size rooms that form a continuous loop, is a monument to dynamism, contingency, and transience.
