STANFORD AVENUE IS A MODERN, ECO-FRIENDLY MAKEOVER TO A 1952 COOKIE CUTTER HOUSE LOCATED IN MARINA DEL REY, CALIFORNIA. THE RENOVATION GUTS THE EXISTING INTERIOR AND CREATES AN OPEN CONCEPT LIVING, KITCHEN, AND DINING AREA. A NEW DETACHED GARAGE IS LOCATED AT THE SIDE REAR OF THE PROPERTY AND FRAMES AN "L" SHAPE COURTYARD WITH THE MAIN HOUSE. THE "L" SHAPE DEFINES THREE OUTDOOR "ROOMS": A LOUNGE WITH FIREPIT, AN OUTDOOR DINING AREA, AND A MEDITATION GARDEN. THE OUTDOOR "ROOMS" ALLOW THE HOUSE TO LIVE LARGER WITHOUT ADDING ANY ADDITIONAL SQUAREFOOTAGE. PHOTOGRAPHY: ROEL KUIPER ©2012
