Roxbury Drive

This 1920s Spanish-style estate located in Beverly Hills had not been maintained or updated for several decades.  The residence’s new design includes a 1,800-square-foot addition containing a large family room, kitchen, and service area.  The rest of the first floor was reconfigured to provide a new connection to the backyard and “resort” vibe. The existing two-story accessory building was demolished and replaced by a new 1,400-square-foot building comprising a three-car garage and pool house. Between the residence and pool house is the remodeled backyard with a new pool and water wall, a large outdoor terrace, and an area for the clients’ two Bernese Mountain dogs to play. The project has drought-tolerant planting, a solar system, and the latest electronic smart home technology.  Many design strategies allow the clients to age in place, including reducing level changes throughout the house and designing rooms for accessibility.
