# Space-Minded Hollywood Residences AUX Architecture Creates a Dynamic Between Indoor & Outdoor By Kalin Ned | Published 2018-05-08 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/west-hollywood-residence1 References: [archdaily](https://www.archdaily.com/892894/croft-residence-aux-architecture) & [auxoffice](http://www.auxoffice.com/) For the design of this contemporary West [Hollywood](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mulholland) residence, AUX Architecture focuses on the ever-popular concept of indoor-outdoor living and open space. Aiming to create a fluid and free relationship between the outside and the inside, the firm, headed by Brian Wickersham, installs a [tranquil rooftop garden](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cupertino-courtyard-house). The practice also creates a [modern shift between materials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/highland-park-residence) that bring out the aesthetics of the textures to full potential and a favoritism toward light and openness. According to ArchDaily, this West Hollywood residence is an example of a "productive collaboration between Wickersham and developer David Bilfeld of Rebel Construction." Efficient, open and extremely modern, AUX Architecture is able to create a sound relationship and a wonderful exchange of values between the inside and the outside.
