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.

The Line Lofts at Las Palmas by SPF:architects
The Line Lofts is an 82-unit residential building located in one of Los Angeles’ most active development corridors. Situated along Las Palmas Avenue just steps away from Hollywood and Highland, the six-story project infills an 182-foot x 127-foot lot to become the tallest new construction in the neighborhood.
Wilson Residence / SPACE International
Formerly the site of a traditional Venice bungalow, this new 2 story residence respects the scale of the 3600sf parcel with an efficient organization of programs. The “shotgun” style ground floor plan is flanked by a linear courtyard which mirrors the interior social spaces and functions as an outdoor living room.
Kingsland House in West Los Angeles by OKB Architecture
The Kingsland House project is an extensive remodel and addition to an existing house built in the 1940’s on a steep Lot with expansive views to the South. The complete renovation includes re-framing the entry, providing a more open kitchen and a new stairwell connection to the Lower Floor.
Car Park House / Anonymous Architects
Starting with a vacant lot with a very steep down-slope from the street, the design of the Car Park house places the carport on the roof with the residence below. In addition to being a dramatic shift of expectations, it is also a logical response to the building code which requires parking for two vehicles.
Rear Window House / Edward Ogosta Architecture
Rear Window House, the private family residence of Edward Ogosta, AIA, is a discreet yet decidedly modern addition and remodel to a 1944 bungalow in an area abundant with intact dwellings of the same era.
Wonderland Park Residence by Assembledge+
The Wonderland Park Residence is nestled in the famous hills of Laurel Canyon in Los Angeles, CA. The Wonderland Park area is a special enclave of mid-century residences that include neighbors such as Case Study #21 by Pierre Koenig built in 1959.
House of Earth and Sky / Aidlin Darling Design
The owners proposed LEED Platinum certification and Net Zero Energy for House of Earth and Sky. With that as a starting point, the project strove to integrate ecological responsibility holistically into the design, such that sustainability performance and architectural expression become one inseparable whole.
