St. Elmo Village Phase I+II
Our relationship with this St. Elmo Village began in 1995 with the rehabilitation of 20 historic bungalows and a former stable building into a series of artist-in-residence studios and workshop spaces - including seismic, code, and building system upgrades while preserving the iconic character of the burgeoning Artist Community.
Location: Los Angeles, California.
Scope: Historic Bungalow Rehabilitation + Re-use of Stables as Classrooms.

St. Elmo Village Phase III

This project is designed to be LEED certified and led to a complete sustainability audit and master plan to take the village off the grid - positioning it not only as an artistic and social beacon but also as a showcase for affordable sustainable upgrades and environmentally conscious living in low-income communities.
Location: Los Angeles, California.
Scope: (4) 800 SF Live-Work Artist Studios
(1) Village Porch
