The Randall Residence consists of a complete renovation of an existing 1967 ranch style house near Marina del Rey. The owners, with two growing children, desired to make their home more compatible with their children’s needs and their own social lifestyle. The small size of their lot offered little opportunity to expand, so the design focusses on creating a more efficient arrangement of rooms.
We sought to create a feeling of spaciousness through a vaulted wood ceiling that unifies the reconfigured living/dining/kitchen areas. Taking advantage of the Southern California weather, the rear wall dissolves into a series of sliding doors combing the interior and rear yard into a seamless living space combining indoor and out.
The heavy timber ceiling will consist of Douglas Fir harvested from the Pacific Northwest. Wood paneling and concrete floor tiles complete the interior material palette. The exterior features cement fiber panel rainscreens topped by a standing seam metal roof.
