Los Angeles, 2018
The project consists of a complete remodel and extension of a 1920’s bungalow on a sloped plot in the Echo Park area of Los Angeles. Towards the back, a steel moment frame was added to the house to create a transitional space that mediates between the house and the garden and protects the rear facade from the afternoon sun.
