The 5th Street Residence By Electric Bowery

Photography by Tessa Neustadt

Venice Beach-based architecture and design firm Electric Bowery have completed the 5th Street Residence. Acting as their own client, they designed and built the mid century-inspired home for a corner lot in Santa Monica, California.

The exterior of the home is clad in bleached cedar and stucco, with a second story deck that breaks up the massing and relates to the corner at the second level.

Inside, the ground floor of the home, which has mostly concrete floors, opens entirely onto a grassy yard and patio, that’s surrounded by lush landscape. The living room features a wall of light wood shelving, while floor-to-ceiling sliding glass wall floods the interior with natural light.
