We’re honored that our Sun Villa Remodel received a Special Mention in the Residential Remodel & Addition category from Architizer.
Originally designed in 1950 by A. Quincy Jones as a “good, contemporary, low-cost” model home, the Sun Villa won the AIA’s Builder House of the Year award that same year. Our remodel honors this legacy by demonstrating how sensitive, low-impact design can adapt historic architecture to today’s needs—without compromising affordability or spirit.
Through minimal interventions, we expanded livable space while preserving the ethos of the original: lean materiality, indoor-outdoor continuity, and thoughtful restraint. It’s our contribution to a future where architecture is both accessible and enduring.
