Abstract

The article describes the sustainable design of the renovated Maltman Bungalows in Los Angeles, California created by Drisko Studio Architects. The architects were able to salvage the original stucco walls, the parapets, the doors, the decorative fireplaces and much of the hardware. They also reconfigured the kitchens and baths in each unit. The renovation process is considered an important milestone for a city struggling to define how to evolve and mature in a sustainable way.
