Two LA-based Remodelista Architect/Design Directory members collaborated on this playful mid-century compound, where the main house and the pool house happily coexist. Bruce Bolander Architect initiated the remodel and set the tone of the project, designing the extension to the breakfast room and the screening room; Jamie Bush & Co. joined the project as the interior architects, and the two firms worked on the pool and pool house together. “Bouncing ideas back and forth with each other, we always had our own distinct roles to play,” says Jamie Bush. “Bruce’s role was primarily exterior and structural and my role was mostly interiors, finishes and furnishings.”

Above: Most of the furniture is mid-century, accented with brightly colored Ikat Pillows by Madeline Weinrib. The outdoor stainless Chaises and Sunshade are from Modernica.
