One of Orlovskiâs collages hangs in the third bedroom/office, which is lit naturally from above and furnished with mid-century pieces. âI knew their new house would look great when I saw how they furnished their old house,â says Oreck. âStas loves finding this stuff on eBay or Craigslistâitâs a labor of love.â

âI always design kitchens that allow people to work with lots of space for friends to stand without being in the way,â says Oreck. âSince Alise deals with food so much as a stylist, it helps to have the kitchen open so she can stay connected with friends and family while sheâs working.â The cabinets are Baltic birch; the backsplash is made from statuary marble. Above the Wolf range is a vent custom made by the architect, who also installed track lighting that can be directed as needed.

Oreck incorporated a pitched ceiling to allow light in from all sides, and added, beyond the series of structural beams, clerestory windows he describes as âsort of a light spine that runs through most of the house.â To maximize the feeling of spaciousness, the living room is partially open to the kitchen and dining room, beyond. At right is the door to the third bedroom/office and the rectangular opening leads to a bedroom and bathroom. The radiant-heat floors are powered by the sun: âIt just seemed silly to build a new house in the 21st century in Los Angeles and not utilize solar power,â says Orlovski.

The master bedroom leads to the patio and art studio. âThe master suite is situated at the rear and can be completely closed off from the rest of the houseâa very nice feature when we have friends and family staying with us,â says Orlovski.

The front door of the old house directly faced the street; to introduce a better transition, Oreck pivoted the new entrance a quarter-turn to the left. âThere should be a little choreography when you enter a house,â he says. The office/third bedroom is at right.

Robertson--with the help of developers Katie Nichols and John Walker, who were heavily involved in the design process--finished the guest bathroom with Modwalls tiles and a sink they found on eBay. They used a piece of marine plywood, leftover from building the front-porch steps, to create a counter on which the sink could sit--and where the family can rest their toothbrushes. To the right of the sink is a Toto dual-flush toilet, which is great for conserving water but has proven problematic for toilet training, as American potty seats aren't designed to fit these Japanese basins.

The staircase is a bespoke design by Luke Tozer, made of a larch composite sourced from sustainable forestry in Austria. It was made off-site and then assembled in position like a jigsaw puzzle.

The leftmost cabinet above the Duravit bathtub (equipped with KWC fixtures) occupies the space where a doorway once lead into the living room, creating unnecessary traffic from the home’s public spaces through to the master bedroom.The new bathroom features a minimal palette of white and teak. “It’s able to hold up on boat decks so is good for a bathroom,” Klug says. It also makes the heated floor that much nicer to walk on in the morning. Photo by Eric Roth

Oreck used the same ply he used throughout the rest of the house for the master bathroom, which has dual sinks for the couple. The mosaic tile is from Trend; the fixtures are from Newport Brass. âThis layout is as space efficient as you can getâwe had no space to spare in this house,â says the architect.
