10-19 Architecture

Using an efficient floor plan and clever design, 1620 Electric provides an unexpected 3,500 sf of light-filled living space inside the exterior shell of a typically much smaller house.  With articulated massing and generous yard spaces, the 'un-boxy' design weaves in contextual elements (sloping roof lines, porches, overhangs, wood siding, lush landscaping) to create an architectural image that is at once completely modern yet rooted in scale and in appearance to one of Venice's most historic and eclectic streets.

​

10-19 Architecture worked closely with the California Coastal Commission and neighborhood groups to obtain the Coastal Development Permit, earning praise from the commission for its design and developing a model 'template' for gaining project approval in the contentious Venice district.
