Secluded within the Upper Canyon Hillside of Santa Monica, this home sits tucked away behind the channel which runs through the property. Home to the Architect and his family, the site features a forward sloping topography with a steep hillside in the rear, which is a host to many mature live oak trees, as well as 2 massive multi-trunk sycamores in the front of the property.

The mid-century bones of the existing home set a precedent for the addition and remodel, giving a perfect framework for the studio to work within their preferred vernacular. The addition features a new Accessory Living Quarters in the front of the property, with a 3 car garage and storage below. The main house preserves the mid-century, post and beam A-framed front, and inserts a reinvisioned rear to the home, complimentary to the new front structure. Red cedar cladding, board formed concrete and concrete block finish the exterior, with a handsome mix of steel, and Douglass fir windows and doors.
