A remodel and addition to an existing 5 bedroom 5 bath house that needed a new inspired perspective to uncover what was special about the site while utilizing as much of the existing house as possible. The clients have two young children and moved from their small urban house seeking more room and home office space to support their jobs as executives who primarily work from home. The original house was built in 1968 and is perched high up in the Santa Monica Mountains with a commanding view of West LA and the Pacific ocean. This incredible view was disregarded by the original design with very small openings and a large brick fireplace separating the living space from a connection to the outdoors. The project opens the living space, adds a new kitchen, new bathrooms, new stair, new master suite layout, a large outdoor covered patio, and new windows & finishes throughout.
