Mt Washington Interior Design + Build 2026 | CSLB #1105249
Mt Washington interior work pulls from a specific design vocabulary - Mid-Century post-and-beam, original 1950s-60s artist homes, exposed-beam ceilings, original concrete floors, original wood paneling, and the indoor-outdoor flow that the hillside lot geometry made possible. We design and build to that vocabulary while solving the engineering reality of LADBS Baseline Hillside Ordinance §B and §C zones, narrow private streets that constrain construction logistics, and the original 60-amp electrical panels that need to come out. NPLD, CSLB #1105249, architectural design since 2016, 200+ LA builds, real Mt Washington interior cost band $70K to $240K.
