Congested behind the classical bungalow bungalow in Venice, California, unexpectedly new Accessories (ADU) Played a playful mixture is minimalism and joy. An imaginary based in Los Angeles Ara-la Studio and Australian architect James GarvanConstruction of 1,020 square feet is personal for Garvan – The Venice It belongs to his childhood friend, Burroughs and his partner Frith Dabkovski, along with his child.
For Burroughs and Dabkovski, who share property with their young son, the new structure was needed to serve many purposes: guest package, creative workspace and garage for transmissioned gear. The result is a double quantity that feels simultaneously anchored and dynamically, restrained, but full of personality – is perfectly adapted to her area in Venetant.
From the ADU Street, it represents clean, geometric silhouette softened diagonally with a striped white colored connection that continues the line of existing front fences. Step around the back, and the boxing form dissolves in fluid curves, softened with rounded roof times and archival details.
The natural cedar lining gives the heat of the Adu’s upper volume, opposing the cooler tone of the lower garage and studies. Shades of pale green, borrowed from the color palette, are repeated in landscaping and tailored to millions in joining old and new together in a subtly cohesive way.
This project is unmistakably grounded in California’s coastal life – back, textured and connected to nature. But below the relaxed veneer is a highly efficient floor in which each square inch counts. Pointed built-in built-in all from Murphy’s bed to laundry, while the kitchen is imperceptibly in the living space, which ends in a media console that feels more customized than the cabinet.
The lower garage and flexor is a dedicated hub for active lifestyle, smart housing surfing, bicycles, motorcycles, and even a pair of cars – nothing without feeling stains. The storage solutions mounted on the ceiling and clean, a peer-like gallery, convert garage to a slightly closer storage salon.
Inside, the material palette falls between refined and entertainment. Pluta floors adds soft tactile quality under legs during the improvement of acoustics – smart choice for small space. Bathroom and bedroom POP with high shock pink and red thanks to bold intestines and paper taste papers, which wraps the walls in a congenital form for maximum effect.
Skilights and thoughtfully placed Windows bring a natural light while preserving privacy and windows shutters twice as sculptural elements. The painted steel spiral staircase connects the soil in the studio and on the roof terrace, offering an elevated view according to the nearby park Penmar.
