CABIN OF THE WOODS
Fire Resistant Cabin: A 1930s Redesign
The reconstruction of this heavily damaged 1930’s cabin is a testament to sustainable innovation and fire-resilient construction, blending timeless charm with modern fire safety and energy efficiency. Nestled in a mountainside California forest at 6000 foot elevation, the original structure was completely rebuilt to address structural failures, a persistent mouse infestation and improve the views of the splendid mountain landscape outside.
Hobart
Sugar Hill Craftsman Remodel & Addition
This grand 5,200 square foot Los Angeles Craftsman home, complete with third story ballroom, built in 1905 was in a state of neglect when the owners purchased it. The neighborhood in which the home was located was once the rich suburbs. Over time a growing and changing urban core enveloped the once exclusive enclave and the neighborhood fell into disrepair. In addition to the interior remodel, the entire house was upgraded with removing the original brick foundation, new roofing to correct water intrusion, removing decades-old paint, and replacing all original electrical, plumbing and heating systems and adding air conditioning.
Mt. Washington
Mt. Washington Craftsman
An old, vintage ice box and some salvaged v-groove paneling from a nearby tear-down house inspired the remodel of this Craftsman kitchen. Once safely stripped of old toxic paint, there was enough beautiful old growth Douglas fir paneling to clad the wainscoting in both the kitchen and bathroom - with a bit left over for cabinet doors.
Abbey
The Abbey San Encino was a utopian artisan community planned for the Arroyo Seco area of Los Angeles during the Craftsman period. Visionary designer/typographer, Clyde Brown, conceived the central structure as a European abbey complete with bell tower.
