The project consisted of:
- Complete remodel to the existing 1,585 SF house (3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, kitchen, dining and living room area)
- Addition of 695 SF (including master bedroom)
- New detached ADU of 432 SF (including 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom)
Location: Mar Vista / Los Angeles
Finish Square Footage: House 2,280 SF; ADU 432 SF
The client, an investor in the area, reached out to us in summer 2019 to start the design process on her latest development. We were excited to work on the Westside and in bringing her vision to turn the outdated home into something mid-century modern design.
We rearranged the interior so that the living areas were in the back of the house. She wanted to take advantage of the backyard and provide an indoor-outdoor living and open concept design. The shared spaces take advantage of the backyard – blurring inside & outside to take advantage of the beautiful weather in SoCal.
We achieved this with large sliding doors to the back, high vaulted ceilings, skylights, and plenty of windows throughout the house.
We demolished the garage and built an ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit). The ADU is a one bedroom and one bathroom and can be used for a growing family member or an office space/play area.
