“Deeply aligned with an older version of Venice: creative, informal, and architecturally expressive – balanced with easy livability the neighborhood is known for today.”

This is the dream Venice compound.
A restored Craftsman on a double lot in Venice, reimagined by Electric Bowery as a multi-structure compound organized around gardens, courtyards, and outdoor circulation. The architecture stays intentionally warm and tactile throughout, balancing historic detailing with a more restrained contemporary sensibility.

Inside
The property unfolds gradually across four detached structures, allowing each space to maintain a sense of independence while remaining visually and materially connected. Original Craftsman details like cedar shake siding, stained glass, custom millwork are preserved. The interiors feel edited rather than redesigned, with consistent natural materials and muted finishes throughout. The layout prioritizes flexibility. Guest accommodations, creative workspaces, wellness rooms, or multigenerational living all feel equally natural within the composition. Spaces open easily to the outdoors, with circulation intentionally routed through courtyards and gardens rather than enclosed hallways.
Outside
The landscape architecture becomes a defining part of the experience. A series of interconnected outdoor rooms creates moments of openness, privacy, and transition across the lot. Drought-tolerant plantings soften the architecture and reinforce the property’s relationship to Venice’s climate and culture. Rather than centering around a single large entertaining space, the grounds encourage movement. Paths widen into courtyards. Seating areas emerge naturally between structures.
The O' Factor
Large scale meets measured design. Electric Bowery avoids the hyper-finished quality that often flattens historic renovations, choosing instead to preserve texture, irregularity, and warmth. The compound feels deeply aligned with an older version of Venice: creative, informal, and architecturally expressive – balanced with easy livability the neighborhood is known for today.
