Walker Workshop
Walker Workshop is a Los Angeles based Architecture firm established in 2010 with the purpose of creating modern structures that are warmly minimal with careful considerations of light, space and the unique qualities of each project’s location. Our approach is also deeply rooted in craft and construction, with a rich awareness of the practical responsibility of making buildings. As a licensed General Contractor, we frequently build the homes that we design. This ethos of creative ownership for all phases of the work, from initial concept followed through to project completion, permeates our culture.

This project, our second in Manhattan Beach has views of the ocean just blocks away. Lots in this part of Manhattan Beach are exceptionally narrow and long. This, coupled with highly specific zoning rules, leads to consistent architectural outcomes, regardless of the style.
Venice House by Walker Workshop
This two story home is our first in Venice California and our two young clients gave us one simple directive: “don’t f*ck it up”. Given such freedom, we created a solid mass punctuated by welcoming voids.

This 3200 SF single-family residence and accompanying 800 SF pool house were envisioned as a refuge cradled within the foothills of the San Bernardino National Forest. The design uses a series of thickened walls which run east-west along the topography of the dramatic mountain site to establish discrete programmatic zones and protect the interiors from the sun.
