From our #sweisklossblog - When designing and renovating a space that includes a countertop, it is smart to weigh all the options. A countertop can provide a captivating focal point and complement the materials/colors that will surround the surface, or it can be subdued to allow the other materials to be more prominent. Equally as important is selecting one for daily functionality that works with the homeowner’s lifestyle and needs. Consider the durability, maintenance, and p...orosity of the countertop material. Let’s go over five widely used countertops and what should be considered before making a final selection...

AIALA Student Exhibition in Architecture and Design Goes Virtual this Thursday Nov. 5th, 6:00-7:00 p.m. PST. RSVP here: https://bit.ly/3jFKlmn From our #sweiskloss blog (in support of this virtual event) - I’ve been teaching in architecture and design programs at universities for many years, and it is something I love doing. I especially enjoy guiding students to further their creativity and think beyond the norm. I love how each one of them can come up with a unique solution... for the same building. Seeing students excel and get excited about architectural design gives me a bit of a glimpse into the future of architecture, design and construction. It’s inspiring. During this pandemic I am glad to see that student works have virtual outlets to showcase their projects. One such online event (free) is the AIALA student exhibition and awards ceremony that will take place on November 5th at 6 p.m. Please take the time to see this exhibition and the outstanding students who were chosen from 16 California universities. From the AIALA invitation: The 28 Committee Presents: 28: Domum Exhibition Opening + Awards Ceremony Wander through a digital matrix of virtual exhibition galleries at 28: Domum, the first year that the AIALA’s 28 Student Exhibition and Competition goes completely virtual. The 28 annual exhibition showcases exemplary student work from 16 Architecture and Design Universities throughout California to celebrate the diversity of architectural philosophy and encourage conversation around a central theme. This year’s theme reflects on the dialogue surrounding housing in Los Angeles and other urban centers across the country. Students were encouraged to submit presentation materials and 3d models that respond to the theme with innovative solutions. Winners of the competition are award scholarships which will be awarded at the opening November 5. The exhibition is free and open to the public. DATE: November 5 TIME: 6:00 pm - 7:00 pm PST

From our #sweisklossblog - If you have a passion for architecture, then the name Esther McCoy would be well known to you. For those who can’t quite place her, then allow us to share how meaningful she was to the architecture community of Southern California, especially during the mid-twentieth century. We all can agree that there wereand still aresome influential architects who put Southern California on the map, so to speak, of highly respected architectural design. And th...ere are those who penned articles and books about these architects, allowing a glimpse into their world of forward-thinking creativity. One such writer was Esther McCoy whose career was as prolific as the architects she wrote about. Esther McCoy began her career writing short stories, award-winning by the way, but her love of architecture was what guided her to do pioneering work as an architectural historian and critic of the Southern California modernist movement. Her book Five California Architects, a study of Bernard Maybeck, Irving Gill, the Green brothers, and R.M. Schindler, is regarded as an indispensable classic on American architecture. After being discouraged from applying to USC Architecture school due to her age and gender, McCoy....

From our #sweisklossblog - One does not need to geek out on technology to know that smart homes will not only continue into the future but will become even more advanced. That’s right, even smarter. In fact more smart cities will be popping up in addition to smart home automation. And what exactly is a smart home? To put it simply, it’s any suite of devices, appliances, or systems that connect to a common network and controlled independently. What does this mean for SweisKlos...s when it comes to designing + constructing a home? We see the benefits of implementing smart home technologypartially or fully connectedand have discussions with clients about such implementation. Lutron automated lighting and shading system was installed in one of our Santa Monica homes because the client liked the idea of their property looking lived in while not there for extended periods. The scene controllers eliminated the need for multiple light switches, and shades were programmed to go up or down on an automated timer, all while being controlled remotely. With a fully connected home, there is a convenience to learning one app to manage countless features for security systems and cameras, thermostat, appliances, garage doors, lighting, audio and other systems for indoor and outdoor spaces. And during this pandemic the need for homes to be exactly as we want to feel safe and comfortable is more imperative than ever. Consider the eco-friendly benefit of smart homes and smart cities. Because of automated systems, there is increased...
