The Elevado Residence is an addition to a beautiful Craftsman home in Silver Lake. The addition is at the rear of the home, creating a connection between the home, the yard, and the new pool.

Because of the contentious history of the original residence, it was crucial that the new one be designed sensitively to its context. At 4,672 sf, the rebuilt home is much smaller which introduced the unique challenge of designing a home that is too small for its own foundation. In response, the house’s necessary volume was divided into four towers that were distributed to the corners of the existing foundation, with bridging elements spanning the large canyons between them.
