Goucher Remodel

Location: Pacific Palisades, California

Architect: Mike Holz Architect, Inc.

Status: Construction completed

Remodel of an existing 2-story hillside residence with a basement and 2-car garage located in Pacific Palisades, California designed in coordination with David H. Lau, P.E. (E.O.R.). Custom details were provided for the stairs leading into the lower level in order to hang them from the framing above, in order to transfer the loading to the existing deep foundation and avoid costly and intrusive foundation work at the property. Other custom design for this project included a floating bench along the lower level (constructed with steel angles) along with design of planters along the front courtyard.
