This streamlined logic was also applied to all interior and exterior detailing so that the house will read as a whole when complete, unlike it does now. We also developed a new garage structure, which is being considered for a future phase. We carried the same design sensibility developed for the house to the garage. In order to lessen the new structures visual impact on the backyard, we introduced a plant-covered wall, which camouflages the lower part of the structure.Construction is scheduled for completion early summer, 2012.

With commanding views of Pasadena and Glendale beyond, the previous one level patio didn’t take advantage of the many aspects of the hillside below and lumped all outdoor functions together in one small area. Our solution utilizes multiple patio levels to designate an outdoor living, dining, and lounge area. Underneath the upper patio we carved away part of the hillside to create a “grotto” where more formal dining experiences can happen adjacent to the water feature.This represents the first phase of work.

We were awarded the project, and set out to develop a street marker that references key historic architectural elements while incorporating information about each particular site. The resulting design introduced a layered human-scaled object to our city streets that is simultaneously inviting and virtually indestructible.With a very tight budget and the generous donation of time by several civic entities, Angels Walk LA continues to grow and educate people throughout the city. Angels Walk Markers can be found throughout the neighborhoods of Bunker Hill, Union Station, Hollywood, Chinatown, Figueroa and Wilshire Boulevard, as well as San Pedro.
