California tract home’s dramatic transformation into modernist villa
Explore the transformation of a modest tract home in California into a modernist-inspired house by Tim Gorter Architect
A modest California tract house has been dramatically transformed into a contemporary residence with modernist influences by Santa Barbara-based practice Tim Gorter Architect. The home, located in Mar Vista, was redesigned by founding principal Tim Gorter and his team, embracing the existing structure with its challenges and opportunities. ‘The client had lived in the property for more than 30 years, [so part of the job was] heightening features they had always appreciated and resolving long-standing frustrations with the original design,’ says Gorter.
