The Assignment: Our firm was commissioned to design a gracious home for entertaining, and a welcoming shelter for visiting adult children. The proposed plan also includes a detached 800 SF ADU, a new pool, and hardscape. We drew inspiration from Midwestern vernacular architecture (gabled roofs, metal-roofed porches, double-hung windows, and attic venting).

Currently: Construction is underway! Our team recently attended a blessing of the site before breaking ground, alongside the  homeowner, contractor, and owner’s representative.

Standout Details: Our designs include a catering kitchen, a large tilt-up party-time window, and oversized double-hung windows (inspired by the Isabel Marant store on Melrose Place). Other fun features are the hidden bar in the great room and a “secret” room in the basement, accessible through two concealed locations in the home. On the second floor, we are designing a stunning window-lined home office space.

Sustainable Features: With a VRF HVAC system, triple-glazed windows, spray foam roof insulation, preserving the mature jacaranda tree, pervious hardscape, stormwater retention, Laundry-to-Landscape irrigation, PV solar collectors, battery and car chargers, high-efficiency water heaters and appliances, the structure will comply with LA’s All-Electric Buildings Ordinance.
