Text description provided by the architects. Nestled in the heart of Cheviot Hills, this house on Kilrenney Avenue sits deftly on its hillside site. IKONIKO partnered with the builder Becker General Contractors to develop this as a speculative project in this upscale west Los Angeles neighborhood. An existing single story house and disconnected garage, built in 1960, served as the starting point of the design. In order to be environmentally sensitive, the design preserved the existing building’s exterior walls, floor slab and foundations. This also allowed the existing home to take full advantage of the dramatic views from its corners.
