WAYNE RESIDENCE
This charming house was built in 1924 with all the aspiration of the California transplants of that era - mimicking a traditional, English cottage built into the hillside of scenic Los Feliz. When our clients moved in, nearly 100 years later, the house was suffering from a poorly-built, 2006 addition which was a jumble of walls and bathrooms that also turned out to be a breeding ground for black mold. After careful remediation, the clients decided to make the most of the fact that their primary suite had been taken down to the studs by reconceiving the layout of the 300 sf wing to accommodate a generous new primary bathroom, walk-in closet and convertible home office / guest bedroom.
