Carla House, Beverly Hills / Walker Workshop
The Carla house started with a primary design goal to maximize the dramatic and extensive views of Los Angeles to the east of this hilltop parcel.
Walker Workshop, founded in Los Angeles in 2010, focuses on designing modern structures that balance warm minimalism with a keen sensitivity to light, space, and site-specific character. Each project is informed by a deep understanding of its surroundings, ensuring that architecture responds thoughtfully to context while maintaining a clean, refined aesthetic.
Rooted in craft and construction expertise, Walker Workshop operates with the added capability of a licensed General Contractor, enabling the firm to oversee both design and build phases. This integrated approach—from concept development through project completion—ensures creative continuity and practical responsibility, resulting in buildings that are as well-crafted as they are conceptually rigorous.
