G HOUSE IS A RESIDENTIAL PROJECT IN REDONDO BEACH, CALIFORNIA. BASED ON THE SCOPE OF THE PROJECT, IT IS CONSIDERED NEW CONSTRUCTION. HOWEVER, A LOT OF THE ORIGINAL HOUSE ON THE PROPERTY IS BEING RECYCLED INTO THE "NEW" VERSION INCLUDING A SEMI-SUBTERRANEAN GARAGE, FOUNDATIONS, AND THE MAJORITY OF THE OLD EXTERIOR FRAMING. THE CLIENTS WANTED TO STRIP AWAY A "CRAFTSMAN" STYLE THAT WAS ADDED TO THE HOUSE TWENTY YEARS AGO, AND CREATE AN UPDATED MODERN AESTHETIC WHILE ADDING AN ADDITIONAL 1000 SF OF LIVABLE AREA. THE DESIGN OPENS UP THE FIRST FLOOR INTO A NATURAL LIGHT FILLED, OPEN FLOOR PLAN THAT SPILLS OUTSIDE TO A PRIVATE BACKYARD ENTERTAINING AREA. A LARGE ROOF TOP PATIO IS ADDED ABOVE THE GARAGE AT THE FRONT OF THE PROPERTY, CREATING A MORE PUBLIC OUTDOOR AREA ALLOWING INTERACTION WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD. A MASTER SUITE AND GUEST ROOM ARE RELOCATED TO A NEW SECOND FLOOR ADDITION. THE PROJECT INCORPORATES SUSTAINABLE MATERIALS AND PROVIDES AN ENERGY EFFICIENCY MAKE OVER TO THE BUILDING ENVELOPE.
