Mt. Washington Bungalow

By cantilevering an addition of exactly 500 square feet, we were able to duck the long process of approval required by the Mt. Washington Specific Plan.  By pulling down the interior walls and reconfiguring the space into a large open kitchen/dining/living room, and vaulting the ceilings, the space expands all the way through to the beautiful views.

·      Completely renovated bungalow with new infrastructure and modern design details

·      734 SF home with an additional basement space of 170 SF nestled on a 5,350 SF hillside lot with natural landscape and plenty of space for an additional terrace or garden

·      Drought ready landscaping with artificial grass in the expansive back yard

·      Open “California” floor plan with canyon views, vaulted ceilings, natural light and great for entertaining

·      New roof installation insulated with a roof heat barrier
