Ray Kappe House Renovation and Estate Management

Ray Kappe House Renovation and Estate Management

Los Angeles, CA. A house designed by Ray Kappe. Structural renovation, then ongoing care.

A Kappe house is glass and timber held up by engineered beams, and when those fail the whole house is at risk. On this one I replaced the glued-laminated beams, the wood siding and the glass panels, and re-engineered and rebuilt the framing structure that carries the glass.

This is also the project that shaped how I work with owners afterward. Once a house like this is put right, I keep looking after it: checking the systems, catching leaks and dry rot early, and scheduling the other trades, so the house stays ready for its owners.

What this project involved

• Glued-laminated beams replaced
• Wood siding and glass panels replaced
• Glass framing structure re-engineered and rebuilt
• Ongoing estate management after the renovation

Photographs of the house are coming to this page.
