Design-Build Contractor in Silver Lake
Silver Lake is one of LA’s most architecturally significant neighborhoods — home to original Schindler and Neutra works, mid-century modern hillside homes, and a continuous community of homeowners who care deeply about their houses. Most of our Silver Lake work is sensitive: hillside renovations, kitchens and primary suites tucked into compact mid-century floor plans, and additions that respect view easements and original architectural intent.
Building in Silver Lake — what to know
Silver Lake is in the City of LA, permitted through LADBS. Most of the area falls within the Baseline Hillside Ordinance, governing grading, retaining walls, FAR, and lot coverage on slope. Specific historic structures (Schindler, Neutra, Lautner) trigger Historic-Cultural Monument review for any exterior alteration. The Silver Lake-Echo Park-Elysian Valley Community Plan adds neighborhood-specific design guidance.
