Spanish Bungalow — style reimagining

Style

Spanish Bungalow

Inspired by Mark Rios, Jamie Bush, Standard Architecture· no affiliation

1920s LA Spanish bungalow, lovingly restored — Saltillo, plaster, deep-set arches.

• Preserve original room geometry — defined kitchen, defined dining, never one-room loft.
• Hand-troweled lime plaster on walls — soft-cloudy, hand-applied, never sprayed.
• Restored Saltillo or restored 1920s clay-tile floors — never engineered hardwood, never modern porcelain.
• Deep-set arched windows preserved — never replaced with vinyl, never enlarged.

Scope

Light remodel

New paint, siding, roof, and finishes — the structure stays put.

Replace the exterior materials in the chosen style while keeping every structural element exactly. Best for solid bones with dated finishes. This is what most renovations call 'a refresh.'

Typical cost

$150K–400K
