Work | Holly Knoll
Located in the hilly neighborhood of Los Feliz in Los Angeles, LOC was engaged to design a 725 SF addition to the existing Spanish style home. Working within the constraints of the existing home, LOC employed smooth white stucco and added a deck at the rear to create an enhanced indoor outdoor experience.

The addition creatively explores massing on a compact site. By creating a distinct overhang, the building becomes more visually unique.

The renovated kitchen creates a focal point with an accent wall featuring a pastel blue decorative tile.
The addition of an island and placing a majority of the cabinets underneath helps to declutter the walls from upper cabinets, resulting in a more open and spacious feel.

A few different ways to bring natural light into the hallway were explored, as the neighboring home obstructs much of the available light. By installing a skylight, natural light is dispersed equally throughout the space and make the hallway brighter and feel more open.

The master bedroom contains a series of windows to bring natural light and make the bedroom brighter.

With the introduction of a blue-green tile, light wood, and an abundance of natural light through the skylight and window, the bathroom creates an indoor-outdoor experience.
