Large backyard patio in Santa Barbara with tile and a roof extension.

A modern mid-century house in the Los Feliz neighborhood of the Hollywood Hills, this was an extensive renovation. The house was brought down to its studs, new foundations poured, and many walls and rooms relocated and resized. The aim was to improve the flow through the house, to make if feel more open and light, and connected to the outside, both literally through a new stair leading to exterior sliding doors, and through new windows along the back that open up to canyon views. photos by Undine Prohl

I did some interior remodeling a year or two ago on this house, going to do some more in 2014. The original part of the house was built in 1928 and has been added on to several times over the years. It's a real "storybook" kind of house!
