Havens Guest House

Size: 8,499 SF
Program: Single Family Dwelling +
                 Guest House Remodel
Project Team: 
Workplays Studio* Architecture
            
Ric. Abramson FAIA, Principal 
            Daniel Ruiz
Location: West Hollywood, CA
Completion Date: 2015

Following in our line of environmentally responsive designs, this remodel project worked off of existing foundations from the original house and its detached garage to create a new courtyard setting as social space for the occupant(s).  Certified forested hardwood cladding, rain screens and sunshades stitch the overall site together with a new portal-like entry in the front hinting at what would become a new outdoor sitting room replacing an old porch in the rear.  A free-standing, creative, wood clad display and storage block conceals an internal staircase and houses garden storage and other household needs. 

The garden court uses recycled concrete and flagstone pavers to create a unified setting for entertainment and daily enjoyment. New landscaping and re-used garden elements give the contemporary solution a sense of charm and character.
