Tech entrepreneurs Julia DeWahl and Daniel Romero transitioned from San Francisco to Los Angeles, drawn to Veniceâs Craftsman bungalows and Silicon Beach charm. They purchased a compound with four structures, aiming for a thoughtful revival that honors local history while establishing a modern sanctuary. Collaborating with Electric Bowery, known for its focus on materiality and livable design, they spent three years renovating the property. The project included creating serene gardens and connecting pathways, blending nostalgia with contemporary sophistication to foster a communal, family-oriented space.
"Our plan was to create a coastal seaside compound and take the best of the Venice Craftsman design and make it old-world, timeless, a bit more sophisticated, and moodier."
"Bungalows felt very grounding and familiar to us. While we appreciate modern homes, we were nostalgic for something more traditional and cozier."
"The team took three years to renovate and design each of the property's four structures, focusing on creating a fresh, modern sanctuary for multiple generations."
"Electric Bowery is known for a robust hospitality and residential practice that focuses on materiality and the philosophy 'design for a well-lived life.'"
