( Kirk McKoy / Los Angeles Times ) Storey's modern box glows in the evening. The main living area, two bedrooms and one bathroom are built above the garage, in the crook of an L-shaped, one-way street. Storey bought the tiny 1929 house on the lot in 2007, at the height of the real estate boom, for $270,000, nearly 10 times the selling price a decade earlier. He rebuilt from the ground up starting in early 2010; with a construction budget of just $110,000, he had to abandon plans to clad the house in wood once he discovered that fire-treatment would be prohibitively expensive. Instead, the exterior is black stucco, and inspired by the long but narrow buildings common in urban Japan, Storey dubbed the home Eel's Nest. |
