Syntax Contemporary

A 1952 Mid-Century single family residence in the Baldwin Hills was patiently waiting for the right architect that could transform it to simpler and modern geometric lines. Alloi decluttered this old home and gave it a fresh, contemporary design featuring a new entrance that opens up to a spectacular cathedral ceiling at the center of the living area, with a redesigned kitchen and dining room.⁠

A 5’x8′ glass pivot door welcomes you into the foyer, newly clad with white rift oak cabinetry to store your belongings.⁠

The stunning views of nearly the entire LA basin from the backyard was perfect for a refreshing backyard pool, spa, firepit, dining and lounge zones.

A putting green was later added to create a practice space for the homeowner with stunning hillside views.
