Ruth Hassell is the architect responsible for Quiksilver’s headquarters in Huntington Beach, California. And when she’s not designing clever ways to make the interior of a two story concrete pushups look more inviting she’ apparently had time to design a home for her family in Tustin, California’s Lemon Heights, according to a story on The Is Brand X.
“I wanted the house to be a vivid reflection of built work that was Californian and a direct response to our time and to this place,” she says, “not a dim reflection of a misremembered style from another lifetime and another continent.” . . . Free from constraints, Hasell designed her three-bedroom, three-bathroom house that harnesses natural light, conserves energy and enhances comfort throughout 3,300 square feet dug into the eucalyptus-shaded slope.
From the look of this beautiful home she’s seems to be most comfortable working in concrete. Which is probably good because the outside of her house looks quite like the inside of Quik.
