BUNGALOW ESSENCE

LOS ANGELES, CA

A young couple wanted to embrace the simplicity of this modest single family home. The original structure resembled a sorrowful shack, but with much love and imagination it emerged as a radiant testimonial to the value of a natural setting and its original craftsmanship. A wildflower meadow with moving grasses, scented shrubs, and a gentle flowing creek on the hillside gracefully greets residents and neighbors. To enter, one climbs the natural flagstone staircase to a view deck surrounded with a traditional design spider web railing in crisp white.  In the backyard, a giant accordion door lets the outside in to the interior dining room. A contemporary built in bench and sleek cement fire bowl invites cozy nights and intimate gatherings under the stars.
