This 1961 ranch-style residence in Mandeville Canyon, Los Angeles, was final renovated within the Nineties and, sadly, that makeover left a lot to be desired: “heavy chocolate laminate flooring, partition glass, sandstone veneer on the partitions/fireplaces,” says architect Patrick Bernatz, of the offending interventions. “Can lighting all over the place!”
Introduced on to replace the house, Bernatz got here up with a easy resolution: take away the unhealthy concepts (see above), restore the unique Cliff Could-influenced options (the post-and-beam ceiling, a two-sided hearth) and use domestically sourced pure constructing supplies (oak, limestone) for a supplies palette that could be very a lot rooted in place.
The brand new organic-meets-minimalist kitchen, specifically, is a revelation. Be part of us for a tour.
