From the Agent: "This property is an inspired architectural live/work compound designed by award-winning AIA architect, filmmaker, artist, and educator, David Ming-Li Lowe. Lowe applied industrial technology with the creation of two separate structures divided by a large outdoor patio for the exclusive use of the back house. This unique property highlights bow truss roofs with exposed beams, and a glass garage door wall that opens to the living, dining and kitchen area. The rear house includes three bedrooms and two baths and comes with its own separate address. The front house has two bedrooms and two baths with a huge second-floor balcony. Located in the hip Sawtelle neighborhood, this residence is not far from the Expo line and some of the best sushi in Los Angeles."
A geometric glass entry gate leads to the rear unit, which has its own address.
The units offer are filled with industrial details, including bow-truss roofs and exposed beams. Clerestory windows bring ample natural light inside.
In addition to two bedrooms and two baths, the front house also features a spacious second-floor balcony.
