Bau10 Architecture Completes The Franklin Wood House in Los Angeles

Bau10 Architecture has unveiled the Franklin Wood House, a thoughtful residential project in Los Angeles that replaces a former garage belonging to a 1921 single-family home. The design focuses on creating a new, independent architectural identity while maintaining a respectful dialogue with the scale and character of the existing historic surroundings.

This project highlights a growing trend in Los Angeles residential design: the creative densification of existing lots. By replacing underutilized outbuildings with high-quality, modern living spaces, the firm demonstrates how contemporary architecture can successfully integrate into established neighborhoods without compromising their historic integrity.
