Project Dashboard | Venice Japanese-Inspired Residence

Project Dashboard: Venice Residence

A Proposal for Santa Clara Venice, LLC

Project Summary

This proposal outlines a path forward to realize the compelling design vision presented in the student architectural drawings for a new single-family residence in Venice, California. While the initial concept is aesthetically powerful, this plan addresses the practical and legal steps required to bring it to life, transforming it into a fully engineered, permit-ready, and buildable project.

The core challenge is twofold: refining the design for structural practicality and navigating the legal requirement of engaging a California-licensed Architect of Record. This dashboard provides a comprehensive framework to achieve this, outlining the adapted architectural concept, detailed cost projections, a directory of vetted local professionals, and a realistic construction timeline.

The guiding vision is to create a serene, Japanese-inspired sanctuary that merges a sleek "girder and panel" structure with the warmth of natural materials, creating a seamless connection between the interior and the curated natural environment of the property.
