Venice Beach House Renovation

For the renovation of this house in the Venice Beach neighborhood of Los Angeles, California, SJA created a dialogue between the historic elements of the 1920s original with changes that made it suitable for contemporary living. Strategic interventions updated the performance of the house while keeping costs low and project delivery efficient. We refurbished the galley kitchen with custom-built cabinetry and updated lighting, while the original stove and hardwood floors were left as is. The newly installed teal cabinets and white countertop complement the original dark wood millwork in and around the kitchen, reinforcing the careful balance between old and new. The main living area was updated with new light fixtures and newly sanded floors. The bathroom was completely redesigned with a new terrazzo floor and updated appliances. By integrating the historic elements of this beachside home, we maintained its character while enabling it to function as a bright and airy space with contemporary amenities.
