The existing two-bedroom, one-bath house in Echo Park had beautiful views to the west overlooking the city, but was sadly undersized for this working family of three. The project added a new master suite with home office for the writer, a new entrance with access to the backyard and views, and converted the existing exterior porch into a new dining room.

The master bedroom, bathroom and office all occupy one split-level room; maximizing views and making each space feel large and airy. The bed, cabinets, window seat, and desk are all custom-designed for the house. The shower opens on to a private outdoor shower with spectacular views.
