Matisse Studios designed this Spanish-style dream home along the historic Venice Canals in Los Angeles, transforming a builder-provided layout into an elegant, user–friendly residence. We enhanced the flow of living spaces and elevated the curb appeal with refined architecture, while carefully respecting the scale and character of the tiny canal cottages of the early 1980s. From graceful stucco walls, wrought-iron balconies and arched entries, to thoughtfully integrated indoor-outdoor connections facing the water, this home blends timeless Spanish charm with modern comfort and the signature design vision of Matisse Studios.
