VENICE BEACH STUDIOS
Venice, CA
The renovation of two small studio units in Venice Beach, California, involves a thoughtful modernization that honors the building’s existing character while enhancing functionality and comfort. Designed by Drury Architects, Inc., the project focuses on the interior transformation of compact studio spaces, incorporating updated kitchens, bathrooms, and open living areas. The design emphasizes efficiency and contemporary aesthetics, with upgraded finishes, improved layouts, and enhanced lighting to create inviting, livable interiors. Modernized plumbing fixtures, cabinetry, and durable finishes ensure that these studios meet today’s standards of quality and performance while maintaining their coastal charm.
The project aligns with Venice Beach's evolving urban landscape, offering thoughtfully designed micro-living spaces ideal for modern renters and short-term occupants. Despite its compact scale, the renovation prioritizes comfort and functionality, improving occupant flow and natural light penetration. The studios retain their residential zoning and adhere to all Los Angeles Municipal Code (LAMC) requirements, including minimal impact on parking and structural modifications. Scheduled for completion in 2025, the project reflects a modern interpretation of Venice Beach living, balancing contemporary design and practicality in this iconic neighborhood.
