Woods + Dangaran has completely restored this 1965 midcentury house designed by influential modernist architect Craig Ellwood, located in Los Feliz, California. Consisting of 1,700 square feet of living space, there are three bedrooms and two bathrooms in this fabulous dwelling that captures the spirit of California modernism.
New life is given to this dwelling with an exacting exterior restoration and an interior renovation, all while maintaining the integrity of the original design. Needing significant work, the shell of the home is upgraded to preserve the longevity of the structure and to meet contemporary performance standards.
Small adjustments to the layout of the bathrooms and kitchen update this home for modern living and comfort. This small-scale home offers an informed blend of custom contemporary and authentic mid-century furnishings are carefully scaled into the compact, open living area.
Throughout the home, natural materials extend the intention of the original detailing. Earth-toned ceramic tile, ribbed glass, brass-plated hardware, dark marbles with golden veining, black granite, and honey-toned teak all enrich the interior.
What We Love: This single-level midcentury house in California was painstakingly restored to its former glory by preserving original details such as the shape, open plan and large windows. At the front entryway of this dwelling, the impressive 60-foot-long lap pool runs the length of the original structure. We are also loving the Koi pond that runs parallel to the pool, another preserved feature that makes this home unique, with its teak bridge pathway that leads to the entry stairs.
