The project
Scrafano Architects renovated and extended this 1920s Spanish house in Hancock Park with designer Holly Hunt and her son Trent Tackbary. Working within the area's preservation guidelines, the team created a 4,200 square foot home with four bedrooms and five bathrooms, and kept original features such as the floors, stair railing and mouldings.
On the ground floor, walls were removed to make an open living, dining and kitchen area, with full-height glass doors to the pool. A new terrace links the house to a new accessory dwelling with high ceilings, a kitchenette and a bathroom, which can be an office, bedroom or pool house. Upstairs, the main bedroom has two large closets, a spa-like bathroom and a 420 square foot deck. The project was completed in 2022.
The entrance hall, with the original curved stair and iron railing.
The kitchen, with a long stone island and black-framed windows.
A living room with glass doors open to the terrace.
The living area opening through black-framed doors to the pool.
The main bedroom, with black-framed windows and a seating area.
