Residence in Venice

Originally built in 1928, the house sits within the historic residential fabric of Venice, Los Angeles. The project responds to the scale and character of its neighborhood while redefining the interior as a contemporary domestic environment aligned with current modes of living.

Context

Originally built in 1928, this English-style cottage in Venice, Los Angeles, was reimagined as a contemporary single-family residence that balances historic character with modern spatial clarity. An arched entry opens into a light-filled living space defined by wide-plank stained oak flooring and full-height casement windows.

Scope of Work

• Architectural reconfiguration and spatial planning
• Interior architecture, material strategy, and lighting
• Custom stair, built-ins, millwork, and bespoke furniture
• Fully custom kitchen designed, fabricated, and installed
• Art curation and landscape architecture
• Construction coordination and city agency approvals

Design Intent

The architectural approach sought to reinterpret an existing structure through spatial clarity, proportional balance, and material restraint. Rather than erasing the past, the project establishes a dialogue between historic form and contemporary intervention — allowing the house to evolve while remaining grounded in its context.

Living Room

A custom honed limestone fireplace anchors the room, complemented by a curated mix of furnishings including a Gelim flatweave rug, a studio-designed coffee table, and Robert Haussmann armchairs upholstered in bespoke Amore textile.

Kitchen

The kitchen is defined by a high level of customization, combining oak and gray-blue cabinetry with mixed-metal detailing. A bespoke island anchors the space.
