With the goal of designing contemporary spaces for creative clients, as well as reimagining and repurposing existing structures while preserving their history and character, modern architect Christopher Mercier has conceived and built some of SoCal?s most popular restaurants (Father?s Office in Culver City, Connie & Ted?s in West Hollywood, Officine Brera and Sixth and Mill in DTLA), as well as some of its most spectacular homes. Among his most impressive residences are the Sherman Oaks home of Smashbox founder Davis Factor, which Mercier expanded from a midcentury post-and-beam home into a sleek, sprawling glass-and-steel estate with 2,600- square-foot deck-patio-pool; and Split Light in Santa Monica, designed with a skylight that runs the entire length of the house in order to track the east-west path of sun throughout the day.
