feldman ARCHITECTURE, Inc










This project involved modernizing a boxy 1940s stucco house. The original house was a series of small, dark rooms with a completely unfinished ground floor and little connection to the outdoors. Working within the existing envelope, the living space was increased while updating the look of the house.
.
The main living spaces were opened up to each other, allowing the house to feel much more spacious. The unfinished space on the ground floor was converted creating a new entry , bedroom, bathroom, and family room.
.
The feeling of spaciousness was further enhanced by introducing a strong connection to the outdoors; bi-fold doors in the family room open to the landscaped garden. Carefully placed windows and skylights maximize natural daylight, garden views and privacy. While a skylight hatch acts as a rooftop door that leads to a view deck.

I love it. Like many of the modern homes in my neighborhood, this house has created a completely progressive adaptive reuse of an otherwise boring, post war stucco box home and made it compelling and useful. Thanks for sharing. Great post & pics.
