Einfamilienhaus In Los Angeles

On a double lot of 11,364 square feet in Mar Vista, a refined single-level home and a detached artist’s studio share a garden designed in the same hand as the house. A garden house in the truest sense: every window looks into green, and life here moves inside and out, day and night. Inside, a short list of natural materials, each left to be itself: plaster, white oak, steel, cedar, and softly washed masonry that gives the walls a depth paint never could. The main room rises to the peak of the roof and opens to the garden through steel-framed glass. The range and the sink each look onto their own planting; the primary bedroom looks across the lawn to a full green wall. Wood-burning fireplace, hydronic radiant heat beneath the floors of the entire home, Wolf and Sub-Zero on Carrara marble. Across the garden, the 1,008 square foot studio has a 14 ft raised ceiling, a wall of glass to the lawn, a full kitchen and bath, and a sleeping loft wrapped in white oak slats. Fully permitted as an ADU, it works as a studio, guest house, office or income. Four bedrooms and four baths across 2,962 square feet, with a two-car garage that shares the home’s heated floors, EV-ready, and parking for five. Raised cedar deck, approved permits in hand for an outdoor kitchen and trellis, and a garden lit after dark so the view never goes black. No front fence, by design; privacy comes from depth rather than a wall. Minutes to the beach, Abbot Kinney and the Expo Line. Architecture by Mike Patterson. Landscape by Big Red Sun and Lisa Onodera.
