In the coastal neighborhood of Mar Vista, this extensive remodel revitalized a family home, breathing new life into its utility and design. The project involved a complete floor plan redesign necessitating the removal of several structural walls, fireplaces and careful reengineering to create an open and functional layout. By skillfully balancing formal and casual living spaces, the home was transformed into a harmonious sanctuary for modern living. The existing architectural features, such as brick facade and shutters, were updated to embrace a contemporary beach-side aesthetic through a refreshing whitewash and the interiors were infused with California cottage charm. This thoughtful combination of style and functionality creates an inviting atmosphere perfect for family gatherings and relaxation.
