• Meet the Architects Night allowed attendees to hear the inspiration,
challenges, and creative processes from the architects who
designed the featured homes of the Home Tours, with a highly
attended cocktail reception at the Pacific Design Center.
• The Home Tours saw record attendance and provided visitors
exclusive inside access to some of the most remarkable
modern homes found throughout Los Angeles, on both
Saturday and Sunday.
• Dwell Outdoor transformed more than 15,000 square feet
into a botanical lounge and oasis. The popular pavilion
featured a prefab from Method Homes and a Joshua Tree-
inspired tiny home by Kim Lewis. AutoCamp created their
Adventure Experience at Dwell Outdoor, with chic,
contemporary Airstreams (by Dan Weber of Anacapa Design),
and surrounding lounging areas. Happier Campier displayed
three of their popular HC1 models on the floor, amidst the
Architecture & Design Film Festival that screened both short
and feature design-centric films, with the screen provided by
Open Air Cinema.
• Hennessey + Ingalls debuted on the show floor, with their
pop-up bookstore, selling the top titles in design and
architecture. The Reading Room hosted book signings
throughout the weekend including Martyn Lawrence Bullard,
Sir David Adjaye, Claire Weisz, and more.
• Four master-built Arckit models–designed, produced, and
shipped from Ireland – were on display this year. Arckit is a
freeform model-making system that uses connecting modular
components to allow architects and enthusiasts to explore
design and architectural concepts. Dwell on Design attendees
were also given the chance to win one of five Arckit A360
models.
• The VIP | Media Lounge, powered by RAYDOOR + Harp
Design Co., offered members of the press a swanky
atmosphere to relax and regroup. The walls and doors of this
exclusive lounge were designed and brought to life by
RAYDOOR, and the interior and some of the furnishings
found inside were custom-made, designed, and supplied by
Harp Design Co.
