JWT Associates is responsible for the stunning remodel/ addition of a 1940’s Colonial home located in Los Angeles, Southern California. The existing home had a beautiful front elevation, but the interior was a series of dark, choppy spaces with small windows. The owners purchased this dwelling for the large, private backyard and pool, and wanted easy access to the exterior from any room.
Telescoping french doors were added in each major space, as well as a new outdoor pergola for shade. the new addition houses the dining room, kitchen, guest bedroom, pool bath, and a new second-story studio. The front of this dwelling was revived with Colonial charm courtesy of a new front door and black shutters.
What We Love: This Colonial home offers a refreshing new update, from the exterior facade to the backyard and interior living spaces. New telescoping doors help to provide a fabulous indoor-outdoor connection while giving this home’s inhabitants sweeping views of the backyard and pool. Living spaces have new wood flooring for warmth, while refined details throughout helps to create an inviting atmosphere.
