This 1920’s neglected cottage on a wonderfully long thin strip in Los Angeles’ Lincoln Heights neighborhood was transformed in 2019 to be a plush pad with a gray water orchard.

At only 550 sq ft the approach is down the line of a super comfortable hotel suite that happens to be in its own surroundings. As with many of the Spatial Affairs projects, the spaces can flow seamlessly, or be closed up to create more discrete divisions with full-height pivot doors.

Carefully chosen window locations created framed views of the dramatic local landscape, whilst editing out some of the adjacent less poetic details. Spatial Affairs provided full design consultancy - architecture, interior, lighting, landscape.
