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

Major addition

Second story, major footprint expansion, ADU. The home grows.

Significant structural intervention: add a second story to a single-story home, grow the footprint by 30%+, add an attached or detached ADU. The original structure is the starting point but the result is meaningfully larger.

Typical cost

$700K–1.5M
