A modern mid-century house in the Los Feliz neighborhood of the Hollywood Hills, this was an extensive renovation. The house was brought down to its studs, new foundations poured, and many walls and rooms relocated and resized. The aim was to improve the flow through the house, to make if feel more open and light, and connected to the outside, both literally through a new stair leading to exterior sliding doors, and through new windows along the back that open up to canyon views. photos by Undine Prohl

This Duvall, Washington custom 12x12 ground-level deck was designed to create a functional outdoor viewing and gathering space with a clean, low-profile layout. Built with premium Azek Cypress decking in a picture-frame design, the project features carefully lowered beam trenches to minimize step height and create smooth transitions toward the home and fire pit area. A custom concrete telescope pier foundation was also integrated into the design, allowing for a dedicated astronomy setup while maintaining structural separation from the deck itself. Additional electrical outlets were included for convenience and future outdoor use.

This project started as a full re-side with smooth Hardie plank, a full re-paint using Sherwin Williams Emerald paint, a 17'x21' patio cover and a massive outdoor kitchen. Once under way we added all new 6" gutters and replacing the roofing on the entire first floor. If you were wondering we kept the original exposed aggregate pavement and poured a new foundation for the kitchen and posts.

2021 installation of initial planting: the front yard is N-facing, with some sun here in the late afternoon. Plants which can tolerate both shade and partial sun, such as some cultivars of hostas, ferns and yews were chosen to eventually become expansive foundation plantings . Since the Victorians were fond of palm trees, these shade-loving palms in front of the porch are at home here during clement weather, but will get indoor protection during the winter.
