Whole Home — Los Angeles
Hillside lots, hard-coat stucco, Title 24 — what the city's housing stock asks of a remodel.
Los Angeles is not one city. It is a hundred neighborhoods, each with its own structure, its own light, and its own planning rules.
From Spanish revivals in Pasadena to mid-century post-and-beams in the hills, LA's housing stock asks for a remodel that respects what's there. We work across LADBS, hillside overlays, HPOZ districts, and Title 24 energy compliance — and we keep the design language quiet enough that the new work belongs.
Back to Whole HomeWe work across the city and into the neighboring San Fernando Valley and Orange County. Hillside parcels shift both the timeline and the budget — we flag the jurisdictional path before design freezes.
1920s revivals — preserved detailing, modernized systems.
Post-and-beam moderns reframed for code and light.
Bungalows and Neutra-era lots opened to the canyon.
Craftsman and Mediterranean homes detailed honestly.
Hillside Victorians and infill, structurally tuned.
Post-war single-stories opened up and re-glazed.
Coastal lots reworked for salt, sun, and zoning quirks.
Estate-scale remodels coordinated through city review.
Whole-home work sits alongside our other capabilities — most LA projects pull from several at once.
Hancock Park, Hollywood Hills, Silver Lake, Echo Park, Pasadena, Highland Park, Mar Vista, Venice, Beverly Hills, and most of the Westside. We're selective about scope, not zip code.
Hillside Ordinance compliance, geotechnical coordination, caisson foundations when needed, and access planning before mobilization. Hillside work is its own discipline — we plan it that way.
We submit through HPOZ board review when required, retain original detailing wherever it tells the building's story, and detail new work to meet old work without mimicry.
Every whole-home remodel triggers energy compliance. We design to meet it without bolt-on equipment — better envelope, smarter glazing, right-sized HVAC.
Yes — fully licensed, bonded, and insured, with general liability and workers' comp on every site.
What drives the budget in Los Angeles — and how we keep it transparent line-by-line.
Design, permitting, and construction phases — how long each takes, and why.
Move out, phase the work, or live in part of the house — making the call honestly.
Ranches and mid-century tracts opened up for daylight, airflow, and a quieter material palette.
Coastal envelopes, salt air, and the planning culture of OC's older neighborhoods.
Many projects pull from more than one capability. Here's the rest of what the studio handles in-house.
The two rooms you use most, designed around how the day actually moves through them.
Paint as a finish, not a coverup — proper prep, the right system, brushed and tipped-off by hand.
Detached units, attached additions, JADUs, and SB-9 lot splits — California's legal paths to more home.
Tile, metal, composition, slate, and low-slope — the full assembly, properly flashed, warrantied.
