AIA Los Angeles has announced the 2022 Residential Architecture Award recipients, and the Veneklasen House was awarded the Honor Award for Adaptive Re-Use / Renovation / Historic Preservation.

The Veneklasen House (1951), a major renovation of the original house designed by Kenneth Lind, is one of the early works of Case Study architect Pierre Koenig. Chu­­­-Gooding was engaged to renovate the one-story home and to add a second level to the house to create a primary bedroom suite and balcony. Our design goal was to interpret the original design intent, to expand upon the integration of architecture and landscape, and to enhance the connection between the new interior and the remarkable mature landscape.
