What makes kitchen remodeling different in Silver Lake
Silver Lake's reputation is built on its mid-century modern stock — Schindler, Neutra, and Lautner-era homes scattered across the hills around the Reservoir. Hillside ordinance applies to most foothill parcels. The flats hold older 1920s and 1930s craftsman bungalows and Spanish Revivals. Mid-century rough-in plus hillside drainage are the two recurring construction realities.
Hillside parcels in Silver Lake carry their own engineering load. Drainage, retaining-wall design, caissons where pools or major additions are part of the scope, and fire-zone defensible-space requirements all shape how a kitchen remodeling project gets sequenced. We coordinate hillside engineering at the design phase, not at construction.
Most Silver Lake homes were built before 1980. That means galvanized supply lines, undersized electrical panels, original gas runs, and rough-in plumbing that hasn't been touched in decades. Once walls open during a kitchen remodeling project, we expect to bring the underlying systems to current code — not as a surprise, as a plan.
Common architecture in Silver Lake: Mid-Century Modern, Craftsman Bungalow, Spanish Colonial Revival. We design eastside renovations to honor what's already there while bringing systems and finishes up to current code and current standards.
