We converted an existing 400 square foot garage -in the historic Hancock Park neighborhood of Los Angeles- into a one bedroom ADU. The garage sits on property lines on two sides and next to mature Ficus trees and an existing pool. Working within this constrained site, we maximized natural light to create a gracious one bedroom guest house. In addition to converting the garage, we renovated the backyard so that the new rear deck harmonizes with the guest house and pool, making this an ideal retreat for contemporary living.

New to the area, this client wanted to modernize and clean up this older 1980's home on one floor covering 3500 sq ft. on the golf course. Clean lines and a neutral material palette blends the home into the landscape, while careful craftsmanship gives the home a clean and contemporary appearance. We first met the client when we were asked to re-design the client future kitchen. The layout was not making any progress with the architect, so they asked us to step and give them a hand. The outcome is wonderful, full and expanse kitchen. The kitchen lead to assisting the client throughout the entire home. We were also challenged to meet the clients desired design details but also to meet a certain budget number.

Ok, this was not as straightforward as you might think. The design process included a balancing act between making the hood/insert combination efficient enough to do it's job (and not so powerful as to cause pressurization issues elsewhere in the house) and not so encroaching on the space that the cook feels constrained. Generally speaking the tendency is to error on the side of making the hood to high and to shallow (from front to back). The whole thing is a rabbit hole in which no one is really providing any definitive answers. That said, the customer is happy with the result. The wall under the hood has not been treated yet. I'll update the pics after it has been.

This Backyard Remodel has been transformed into a Mediterranean Paradise, complete with a pool and various outdoor living spaces, creating diverse multi-functional area for all families. Pergolas were added as an architectural element to define the outdoor space without constraining it and to provide shade from the midday sun. The beach entry sloped pool features a dark bottom that gives the illusion of more depth and the stone surrounding softens the hard lines while featuring a low waterfall that adds to the elegant ambiance.
