Townhouse in Venice – A Masterpiece by Ted Tokyo Tanaka, FAIA, 1989. This unique townhouse is in the thriving heart of Venice Beach. Around the corner, on Abbot Kinney Blvd. is a vibrant scene of shops, cafes, and restaurants, with the Beach and Main Street a few blocks away. One of four units, reflecting a disciplined architectural approach that evokes French, Spanish, and Bauhaus Modernism, this building creates a captivating visual interplay of light and shadow. The facade enhances an aesthetic appeal, offering a serene and private balance, a quiet street presence. Surrounded by a lush, mature garden, entry is through a private gated front patio that wraps around this corner unit. The entrance opens to over 20 ft. high ceiling living room defined by volume, proportion, and detail reveals majestic open plan living. The split level plan unfolds, with a mezzanine loft overlooking a semi open custom built kitchen, high end appliances, with a Scandinavian influence. Metal casement windows frame shifting light throughout the day. Two bedrooms feature large versatile rooms, double height ceilings, en-suite bathrooms and spacious balconies. The third bedroom is on a separate level with an adjoining bathroom.
