In this So-Cal home, currently listed for $2.2 million, brick flooring sets the tone on entry, carrying movement beneath a sequence of arches that emphasise the vaulted ceilings. The 1962 architecture relies on a new design by Working Holiday Studio that uses proportion and repetition to define how the spaces unfold.

The 2,727sqft interior spans four bedrooms and three bathrooms, with living, kitchen and dining spaces gathered beneath a double-height volume. A mezzanine edge traces the upper level, maintaining visual connection without enclosing the plan. As brick flooring gives way to timber in the adjoining rooms, the palette is kept restrained and consistent — the continued appearance of arched thresholds reinforces that continuity. Throughout the day, light moves easily through the house, softening the materials and maintaining a clear relationship between rooms.

The careful renovation works with the logic of the original structure rather than against it. And outside, mature planting extends the living spaces beyond the interior with views over the adjacent golf course to the Granada Hills.
