About This Project

Shift House is a striking example of thoughtful design and renovation in the heart of Los Angeles. Completed in December 2022, this project involved a comprehensive expansion and major renovation of a charming 1946 two-story home. The original orientation of the house, aligned along a true north-south axis instead of parallel to the street grid, presented unique challenges and opportunities in creating harmonious outdoor spaces that engage with neighboring properties. The renovation began with essential updates, including the installation of new windows, a modern roof, and fresh siding, which not only enhanced the home's aesthetics but also improved its energy efficiency. The client's vision was clear: to preserve the ground floor bedrooms, an established large tree, and the surrounding hedge while expanding the living areas to create a more functional and inviting atmosphere. The design choices made throughout this project reflect a commitment to contemporary craftsmanship, emphasizing clean lines and quality materials. A focal point of the renovation is the new kitchen and family area, which were skillfully designed to maximize natural light while maintaining a seamless connection to the outdoors. The integration of deep blue-green dimensional tiles in the contemporary bathroom showcases a bold yet sophisticated palette, adding depth and character to the space. Every detail of Shift House has been meticulously crafted to ensure that the final outcome resonates with the client's aspirations. The blend of modern design with the home's original charm results in a cohesive living environment that is both stylish and practical. The successful preservation of the existing tree and careful landscape integration contributes to the overall ambiance, creating a serene retreat in the bustling city. Shift House stands as a testament to innovative design and thoughtful renovation, offering a perfect balance of comfort, functionality, and aesthetic appeal.
