Project Description
This residential project involved an extensive remodeling of the exterior and interior of an 1800-square-foot, two-story, two-bedroom house in West Hollywood built in the 1980s. It also called for 2700 square feet of new construction to add an elegant master suite -- completely inset in jade, from the floors all the way to the tub -- a new full and half-bath, a media room, and an office. To take advantage of spectacular views and natural light, we reoriented the house to the west, overlooking the pool area, and created multiple opportunities for indoor and outdoor living spaces to merge. To satisfy the owner’s desire for the “new” house to embrace both an Asian expression and a modern aesthetic, we specified rich, natural materials inside and out, including red mangaris exterior cladding and 100-year-old reclaimed teak, along with glass and blackened steel for the “floating staircase” inside.
