Open Space | The Hart Residence, A. Quincy Jones & Whitney R. Smith (1950)

Andreas Larsson is one the most notable and well-known home restorers in Los Angeles, aiming to preserve and save Architecturally significant homes through his company HabHouse. From an unrecognizable Calvin Straub home to the personal residence of Jean Killion alongside others to now The Hart Residence, Andreas is single-handedly saving iconic Architecture homes in LA. Turning years of neglect into something that is dream worthy of living in can be daunting and lengthy; however, Andreas and his team have cultivated an approach worth listening to. The balance of restoration and updating, choosing a color palette, to the materials and finishes used comes down to a lot of research and years of work. The Hart Residence has an exciting history and went into disrepair over the years. Without someone like Andreas stepping in, who knows what the future may have been tearing down "old" homes has become all too familiar in Brentwood. Crestwood Hills is one of the best Architectural significant neighborhoods in all of Los Angeles. It's a neighborhood that holds a lot of pride within the current owners, which can be felt by just driving around; you are surrounded by greenery and hillsides and feel so distant from the hustle and bustle of LA but yet a stone's throw away from Sunset Blvd. You only get a few chances to be a part of such a thriving community. The Hart Residence may be that opportunity for you.
