From Peter Culley
This 1920’s neglected cottage on a wonderfully long thin strip in Los Angeles’ up and coming Lincoln Heights neighborhood was transformed by Spatial Affairs Bureau in 2018 to be a plush pad with a gray water orchard. At only 590 sq ft the approach is down the line of a luxy-minimalist hotel suite that happens to be in its own comfortable surroundings. As with many Spatial Affairs projects, the spaces can flow seamlessly, or be closed up to create more discrete divisions with hidden full-height pivot doors. Carefully chosen window locations create framed views of the dramatic local landscape, whilst editing out some of the adjacent details. Spatial Affairs provided full design consultancy - architecture, interior, lighting, landscape.
