Additions and remodeling in Playa Vista, Los Angeles County

Home additions in Playa Vista

Playa Vista additions follow the sequence we use in Mar Vista, Culver City and El Segundo: measure, confirm limits, draw, submit, then build.

A Playa Vista addition follows the same sequence we use in Mar Vista, Culver City and El Segundo: measure the house, confirm setbacks and height, draw, submit, then build while the family keeps living there. What changes from place to place is the reviewer and the exposure. Here LADBS runs the plan check, and the damp air off the water shapes which fasteners, flashing and window frames go on the list.

Same sequence, different reviewers

In Mar Vista and Palms the drawings go to LADBS, as they do here. Culver City and El Segundo each have their own building department, so the forms and plan check comments look different even when the addition is the same size. We keep a single checklist for every job: existing conditions drawn, structural calculations, energy compliance, then the submittal. Corrections from the reviewer come back to us and to the engineer, and the family only hears about them when a choice in the design has to change. Inspections follow the same order everywhere.

Keeping the house usable

Whichever city the house is in, the work is staged so the kitchen and a bathroom stay usable throughout. Debris leaves the site in bins, a zippered plastic barrier closes off the connection to the existing rooms, and the path to the front door is cleared at the end of each day. Materials near the water get the same care in every city on the list: stainless connectors at the framing, corrosion-resistant flashing, and siding that matches the house so the new room blends with the original walls.
