Singular Residential Space: John Mills Davies, ASID
Once an unsalvageable 1906 shack that had only front and side yards, the latest design creation of John Mills Davies of Marrokal Design & Remodeling is now a modernist bungalow equipped with a multi-use patio, casual outdoor theatre, and eco-friendly features. The cast-in-place concrete slabs take space efficiency to a new level as they serve as a versatile patio, dog run, and triple-deep off-street parking. In the summer, the side yard is used to project images on the east façade of the house, creating a carefree and relaxed environment for movie watching. Drought-resistant landscaping, low-voltage garden lighting, multiple fire features, and a sheer-descent fountain create a varied yet cohesive outdoor living experience.
