Los Feliz
Currently under construction
A new chapter for a classic home.
This 1936 Craftsman on Cromwell Ave is undergoing a remarkable transformation through the collaborative vision of Winston Alford-Hamburg and Studio Kouo. Nestled on a hillside with sweeping views of Los Angeles, the home exudes the charm of an English cottage, surrounded by lush gardens filled with citrus trees. The renovation balances modern upgrades with the home’s original character, creating a space that feels both fresh and timeless.
Thoughtful upgrades.
To meet the couple’s desire for more storage, the design introduces custom-built cabinetry and intricate millwork throughout. Every detail honors the original architecture while enhancing functionality. The kitchen receives a complete remodel, featuring new cabinetry, high-end appliances, and finishes that blend seamlessly with the home’s character. In the dining room, massive steel doors now open to the terrace, inviting natural light and creating an effortless indoor-outdoor flow.
Welcome home.
A retreat in progress.
The master suite becomes a luxurious escape with a new dressing room and an enlarged master bath that showcases the home’s original wood beams. All windows have been replaced, keeping in line with the house's historic language, to flood the interior with light and connect it to the vibrant garden outside. With the project currently under construction, Winston plans to showcase in-progress photos alongside detailed renderings and sketches, capturing the journey of this stunning renovation.
