Departures is KCET's hyper-local web documentary, community engagement tool and digital literacy program about the cultural history of Los Angeles' neighborhoods.
Whitney Sanders & Catherine Holliss
Architect Whitney Sander and designer Catherine Holliss' house in the Venice canals is an idea house. Cerebral in concept and execution, the creation is built entirely without walls, embracing a myriad of materials - sunflower-seed wall board, bamboo flooring, marmoleum, recycled-steel structural frames, to name a few - that are used to delineate spaces, much like the 'skin and bones' of shelter.
