A 1950s dingbat apartment building in West LA. We designed the interiors alongside K2A Architects, who redesigned the exterior.

Small, closed-off 1950s layouts and worn finishes left the building behind today's renters. It had to come down to the studs.

Working with the architects, we opened up the layouts and rebuilt the interiors with modern finishes, so inside and out read as one new building.

A full transformation inside and out. The dated dingbat is gone, and West LA has a modern apartment building that competes with the newer construction around it.
