A 13-unit bungalow community in Santa Monica, slated for a full restoration.

A prime coastal location held back by dated mid-century interiors and inefficient layouts. The only way forward was down to the studs.

I kept the bungalow charm people love, reconfigured the units with open, functional layouts and high-end finishes, and added new shared amenity space for residents and guests.

Since the renovation, occupancy has never fallen below 95%, and the bungalows command the highest nightly rates in their neighborhood. Original character outside, fully modern homes inside.
