"A Poorman's Bungalow", this renovation in the Bungalow Heaven district of Pasadena, won a Pasadena/Foothill AIA award. A sensitive alteration of a pre WWI speculative house to fit the needs of a growing family with small children. The budget was extremely tight, spread over several years and included some work by the owners. Materials were chosen for durability and ability to lighten a dark house.
