Before and After

“Venice Beach Home”

Transformations:

Exterior

A friendly perimeter wall, a gate, and a large jacaranda tree were added to provide privacy and shade for the street level of this overly exposed modern 2-story construction.

View Down to Courtyard

To extend the ground-level living and kitchen area, we transformed the front courtyard into a private outdoor dining and lounging area, complete with koi pond and water lily garden.

View from Living Room

Additional privacy for the interior living room was afforded by a strategically placed outside palisade of rich mahogany-like wood, which also augmented the clean lines of the Asian Modern construction of the house.

Rooftop

This uninspired area of the home became magical with a fenced-in virtual “Venice Beach” playground for the kids, featuring a large, deep sandbox and potted palms.

A full rooftop kitchen with rich wood decking and BBQ serves up dinner in front of a fireplace for cool evenings.
