The project is a new 2 story home replacing an existing one story residence. The home features modern stylistic elements, while retaining much of the contextual aspects of the neighborhood. Included is a new accessory dwelling unit (current design phase).

Front Elevation - design shows planning "encroachment break plane" issues which is a requirement that helps to insure projects don't become too "boxy" for the sake of adding additional square footage while the design suffers. While the intentions are good, codifying a concept never yields the best product. Better solutions involve less rules and more individual effort between the planning department and the architect / designer - project by project.
Design - Section View. This shows the 14' high ceiling which is the maximum a ceiling height can be in Los Angeles before the maximum floor area must include this space twice. Another attempt to control "mansionization" and very large homes. Our developer clients are fighting this issue constantly.
Site - Design shows floor plan of the accessory dwelling unit off of a raised alley above.
We designed and will complete the working drawings for all of the work, including coordinating consultants and will entitle the permits for construction of all buildings. This project has typical planning issues for the area, including resolving the methane gas isues in the area. We will likely be involved in construction administration as well.
