Evans House is modern house design remodel by LA based architects bittonidesignstudio. This house has now become an architecturally controlled neighborhood that was originally planned by architects Quincy Jones and Whitney R. Smith. This particular project is a remodel and addition to an existing 1957 Benton + Park home which is situated high above the city with views of the entire LA basin. The project was framed around taking something ‘modern’ and making it more contemporary.
The existing spatial condition of the house was clearly divided between public in the lower level and private at the upper level as well as fixed within a completely horizontal orientation. The major move was to carve out a double high space above the kitchen in order to animate the section vertically and allow for more social interaction.
