Originally a classic pre-war bungalow in Hollywood, Los Angeles, the goal for this project was to open up and update the spaces, without destroying or compromising the original character of the property. Preserving, recreating, and echoing the built-ins and painted woodwork of the existing cottage-style design accomplished this.
In the kitchen, high ceilings, a clerestory window, and sliding doors out to the garden add a modern feel, and the modernization extends to the primary suite, smoothly tucked into the attic space. Here, light wood, built-in cabinetry, and a pocket door in the bath make clean and simple use of the space. In the end, our entertainment industry clients had a house that retained its many charms, and also worked as a modern family home.
