An experiment in living on commercial corridors as an alternative to mixed-use buildings, this project functions as a residential duplex along Pico Boulevard. The ground level contains a remodeled upholstery shop into a live/work space with a work area fronting the street and a private courtyard entry. An addition upstairs incorporates a tall volume single-family residential unit that connects to the city with outdoor terrace, deck and balcony.
