Michele Saee has been living and working in Los Angeles since 1985, after training in the Morphosis offices. He has, among other projects, decorated restaurants and stores (Ecru Marina Clothing Store, Marina del Rey, 1990) and has also designed individual houses (Meivsahna House, 1990; Saee House,1991); Golzari Guest House (1996). Michele Saee's architecture, always unpredictable and seeming to be in a partially-completed state, views itself as an assembly of floating sculptural shapes and of materials interacting with light which are always connected to the external world. The architecture reveals its layers to be successive envelopes, coming away like undulating surfaces similar to pieces of clothing covering a composite, moving body.
