Interior

Kitchen Remodeling
The finish material palette was kept appropriate for a house tucked into a wooded canyon. The existing house was finished in rough sawn board-and-batt with a composition shingle roof. The new house is clad in new growth cedar tongue and groove siding with a roof covered in slate green gravel. Douglas fir flooring and cabinets were used throughout the project. The countertops are Ceasarstone, tile is either recycled tiles from ModernArc or glass tiles from Ann Sachs.
Bathroom Remodeling
Flooring
The second-story addition and 719-sq.ft. addition were complete in October 2006. The finish material palette was kept appropriate for a house tucked into a wooded canyon. The existing house was finished in rough sawn board-and batten with a composition shingle roof. The new house is clad in new growth cedar tongue and groove siding with a roof covered in slate green gravel. Douglas fir flooring and cabinets were used throughout the project. The significant use of wood as a structural and finishing product has given the Kormans a residence that reflects its wooden surroundings.

Basement Remodeling
Framing
Be doubled,” relates Zander. “It was true [in our case] and that was a challenge. But the biggest surprise was how difficult each decision point is, and the level of detail each step can involve when you are working with a contractor on a time and materials basis. For example, the precise layout of tile to minimize odd joints required foresight and planning all the way back to the framing stages.”
Tile Installation
“The extent of the demolition and shoring up of our existing home was shocking to us; nearly every wall was torn down to the studs,” adds Morina. “The office and its accompanying bath-room downstairs were the least touched by construction, but even there we replaced a closet with a Murphy bed and file cabinets, and added an egress window. In addition, that bathroom’s beautiful yellow and grey ’50s tile work was damaged by the demolition on the opposite side of the wall. [Fortunately], our amazing original wood beam living room and office ceilings only need a teeny touchup after construction.”
Fireplaces
The Lichsteins’ home had two bedrooms, one of which they use as an office, and a single bath, but they wanted more room for a future family. Buckner’s proposal called for a master suite, two bedrooms and two more baths in a butterfly roofed second story, as well as a playroom on the ground floor. The existing kitchen was remodeled and a wall removed to open it to the living and dining rooms. The back bedroom was turned into a family room with accordion doors that can close it off from the living room or the play area. Radiant heating was installed throughout and a new fireplace and built-in seating added to the living room.
Skylight Repair/Replacement
Because the house is set at the bottom of a canyon it was important to capture as much light as possible. Buckner designed a butterfly roof structure for the second story addition in order to capture light from high clerestory windows that reach up to the ceiling. Some of the window configurations on the original house incorporated posts and worked well with the second story addition designed as an exposed post and beam structure. Skylights were added in the kitchen and over the fireplace, which in addition to adding light in the living room accents an articulated tiled fireplace mass. All bedrooms face patios or decks with sliding glass doors that dissolve the boundary of indoor and outdoor space.

Construction

Room Additions
The program for the project included a second story addition to house a master suite, a home office for Dr. Korman, a surgeon, and a painting studio for Ann. Situated at the bottom of a canyon, the entrance to the original house was 66 steps from the street to the front door. The new design incorporated a bridge to an entrance at the second floor addition reducing the steps to 44. The former master bedroom on the lower level became one daughterâ€™s room and two small bedrooms at the rear of the house were combined to make a suite for the other daughter.
New Construction
Buckner has serious roots in midcentury architecture. In addition to new construction emblematic of the era, and high-end renovations like Courteney Cox’s $20 million A. Quincy Jones home in Beverly Hills, she wrote the book-literally-on Jones in 2002. And her interest wasn’t just professional: after losing their 1961 modem home in Malibu to a brush fire, in 1993 Buckner and family moved to a midcentury home designed by Jones, Whitney R. Smith and Edgardo Contini in Brentwood’s Crestwood Hills.
Demolition
Shortly before demolition began, Ann sold or gave away all of their furniture with the idea of purchasing all new furniture for the project. As the daughter of an art collector, she has an exquisite eye for design. She worked closely with the architect in selecting every piece of furniture and finishes. To start the collection on the right foot, at the beginning of the project, her father gave her a George Nakashima dining table and coffee table.

Landscaping and Fencing

Driveways
An architect, whether for the landscape or your home, knows a lot more than you do and can save you a lot of pain and moneyâ€”like when you find out that your pool would be too close to your neighborâ€™s property line, or that the new drainage now leaves your driveway a swamp after a big rain. Good architects also have a tried-and-true work force, in contrast to hiring an independent pool guy, a hardscape guy and plant-material guy.
Retaining Walls
“The biggest challenge to the project was meeting the city’s requirements for remodels that exceed 50-percent added footage,” Buckner explains. “Since the original house was so small to begin with, it was impossible to avoid falling under those restrictive requirements. A great deal of time and engineering was needed to prove [the integrity of existing foundations, as well as adding new foundations and two-story retaining walls to meet current code and support the hillside beyond.”

Exterior

Window Installation/Replacement
With the primary view and exposure to the south, the use of passive solar devices such as appropriately sized roof overhangs minimize the sun’s effect in the summer and maximize heat gain in the winter. Operable windows and doors on the lower floors capture funnel ocean breezes, with air circulation also helped by clerestory windows at the top of the house.
Decks
We have experience in many types of residential concrete including foundations, caissons, grade beams, hillside foundations, structural slabs, slabs on grade, driveways, driveway aprons, pool coping, cantilevered decks, basements, raised foundations, and retaining walls.
Patios
A butterfly roof structure was designed for the second story addition in order to capture light from high clerestory windows that reach up to the ceiling. Some of the window configurations on the original house incorporatedÂ posts and worked well with the second story addition designed as an exposed post and beam structure. Skylights were added in the kitchen and over the fireplace, which in addition to adding light in the living room accents an articulated tiled fireplace mass. All bedrooms face patios or decks with sliding glass doors that dissolve the boundary of indoor and outdoor space.
Siding
The design of the house is very influenced by the neighboring modernist homes. The use of butterfly roofs for the house and the separate artistâ€™s studio at the rear of the property allowed for generous clerestory windows, which in turn created a floating roof. In addition to the clerestories, all of the MHA houses featured plentiful glass, which celebrated the connection of indoor and outdoor space. Exposed materials such as concrete block, redwood siding, and plywood were used throughout the original MHA houses; the Brentwood House featured cedar siding, glass walls and exposed concrete that blend well with its neighbors.
