Overview

The project pairs a partial demolition of an existing residence with a 937 SF, two-story addition — one bedroom, two-and-a-half baths, and two parking spaces.

Much of the design was a negotiation with the zoning framework: setback adjustments, parking requirements, and the review standards of the Venice Coastal Zone and the Planning Commission. The result demonstrates how careful design can reconcile a bold contemporary form with a demanding regulatory context.
