TONIGHT!
April 9, 6:30 pm at Helms Bakery

Symposium Sunday April 12, 1 pm

The Eaton Canyon and Palisades fires transformed the lives of so many here in Los Angeles. One year later, the rebuilding effort is well underway, but it has not been easy. Insurance, permitting, infrastructure, and inflated costs have proven challenging. No simple solution has clearly manifested. Instead, a variety of real-world approaches have developed for bringing our communities back together.

Please join us as we take account of some of the best architectural projects permitted and being constructed in the city and county of Los Angeles. On exhibit are large-scale models, renderings, and plans. Engage in a conversation of varied building approaches alongside a discussion from our grass-roots leaders spearheading change within our city and county.

Barbara Bestor, a midcentury house expert who had worked on John Lautner’s sublime Silvertop in Silverlake (recently seen in an episode of the Apple TV series The Studio), was brought on to manage the restoration. The primary bathroom became a serene, spa-like retreat, including a soaking tub adjoining a glass wall (with careful plantings outside to ensure privacy). A shaded courtyard holding a breakfast table was added off the dining room to maximize the available space. Plus, as Ross says, when you live in what is mostly one big room, it’s nice to have an area where you can close a door — even a glass one. The kitchen was widened and the closets made more up to the task of two people who go out as much as these two. LACMA is now the locus of two pivotal fixtures on L.A.’s social calendar: the annual Art+Film Gala with Gucci in October, cochaired by Leonardo DiCaprio and Eva Chow; and, in March, the Geffen Galleries hosting the storied Vanity Fair Oscars after-party.

Thank you & for visiting the Govan/Ross house!
