The Glass House
Malibu, California
A coastal retreat maximizing ocean views through floor-to-ceiling glazing and cantilevered terraces.
Minimal architecture focused on light, materials, and spatial clarity. We create buildings that breathe and environments that elevate daily life.
Form & Void is an architecture practice founded on the belief that great design emerges from restraint. We approach each project with a commitment to clarity, purpose, and the subtle interplay of space and light. Our work spans residential homes, commercial spaces, and cultural institutions — each unified by an unwavering dedication to material honesty and spatial precision. With over 15 years of experience, we've built a reputation for transforming complex briefs into buildings of quiet confidence.

The Glass House — Malibu, California
Perched on a coastal bluff overlooking the Pacific, The Glass House represents our commitment to framing nature as the primary design element. Floor-to-ceiling glazing dissolves the boundary between interior and exterior, while carefully positioned overhangs provide shelter from the coastal sun. The minimal material palette — concrete, steel, and glass — allows the ocean views to take center stage. Cantilevered terraces extend living spaces into the landscape, creating a seamless dialogue between architecture and its dramatic site.
