Located in the beautiful Pacific Palisades, CA, this remodel and addition seamlessly fuses the timeless allure of a 1947 Tudor-style home with the comforts of contemporary living. The homeowner sought to honor the heritage of their Tudor-style abode while adapting it to meet the needs of a growing family. Taking advantage of the generous attic volume typical of Tudor homes, we strategically integrated new spaces into the existing structure—creating additional bedrooms and living areas. Through a carefully considered remodel and addition, the home now embodies a harmonious fusion of old-world charm and modern design.
To comply with existing zoning regulations, 50% of the original exterior walls and roof were retained. The home preserves its distinctive Tudor silhouette, while addressing non-conforming height and setback conditions. Ornamental details were pared back in favor of a clean, contemporary aesthetic. This transformation maintains a respectful connection to the neighborhood’s architectural character while embracing a spirit of renewal and forward-thinking design.
