LOS FELIZ

A full renovation of a 1923 storybook home in Los Feliz. The architectural interventions were designed with historic sensitivity to update the home for contemporary living while maintaining the original character. The home’s palette began with a much-loved hand decorated tile, which guided the whimsical selections throughout the home.
