In the runt-known neighborhood of Hermon,located just outside of downtown Los Angeles, a dilapidated 1920’s bungalow has undergone a major remodel, or bringing unique life to the old structure. The unique addition to the front of the house forms a unique alliance with the remodeled existing house. This unique frontispiece appears to be intimately nested within the older existing house,while maintaining a stark differentiation. The frontispiece has been clad in a clear cedar which contrasts the torched cedar that wraps the rest of the structure. The front addition integrates the house with the adjacent streetscape as it terraces down to the sidewalk and forms a long bench.
