This project is an addition and extensive renovation of an existing single-family home located on a wooded down-slope site in Santa Monica Canyon, wrapped in Ipe wood fences surrounded by tropical gardens, mature sycamore trees & and bamboo walls.

The client envisioned their residence as having a “contemporary tree-house” feel, which would be integrated with the natural setting of their canyon property. The entrance of this secluded oasis is from above, amidst a canopy of trees that hides the property from the street. The home is detailed with sustainably harvested tropical hardwoods and employs green design principles throughout.
