This single story house in Larchmont Villiage which needed a facelift. Our solution is to remove several imposing walls on the interior to allow for even natural light with better movement and storage. On the outside of the house, the older plant materials were removed and replaced with drought tolerant specimens. The outside of the house will be refinished with a combination of smooth stucco at the back portion of the house and horizontal, cement board siding at the front.

At the entry, the existing ironwork has been refinished along with the existing patio and brickwork which was treated with a whitewash coating. The new hardwood door are accented with the black trim and lighting fixtures.

This plan shows the layout of the house and the yards. The interior will maintain three bedrooms and two bathrooms but now with a improved space for each room and a much larger kitchen which was a priority for this client.

For landscaping, the project will use drought tolerant plant materials. The driveway concrete surface was minimized by using plant materials in the center strip.

The fireplace was refinished with black slate in contrast to the light colored, hardwood flooring.

Now has ample natural light, hardwood flooring and exterior doors.

All members of the family enjoy this new space.

We used a brushed gold globe, lighting fixture for the primary lighting in the main areas of the living room, the table in the dining room and over the island in the kitchen.

The main bathroom features a floating hardwood double vanity, quatrz counters, brushed gold fixtures and herringbone white tile at the bath and shower.

Porcilean wood tile flooring, floating hardwood vanity, quartz-marble counters, white herringbone tiles and brushed gold and brass fixtures outfit the guest bathroom for a bright and well lit space.

The shower and tub enclosures use a white herringbone tile with brushed brass accessories.

The kitchen cabinets are custom made with hardwood birch and finished with light grey paint over the slab cabinet fronts and completed with brushed brass pull knobs.

This is the new kitchen with an exposed beam over the new opening. The interior paint swatches are on the wall.

This single story home located in the South Larchmont area in Los Angeles. The project is for a full interior and exterior remodel. When completed, the exterior will be clad with both stucco and horizontal siding and new landscaping. The interior will feature hardwood floors, a master suite with an en suite bathroom and plenty of closet space.

Several interior walls will also be removed to open the floorplan creating more natural daylight and a much large kitchen and dining area.

The new house will also feature a den work area, laundry room and a detached artist studio.
