David Ming-Li Lowe, Architect

Unique property. Two structures on a corner lot (11603 & 11603 1/2). The larger a 2-story work/live building with a high ceiling loft, built by award-winning architect, artist and educator David Ming Li-Lowe in 2003, and used as his office. The other a charming 1br/1ba 1926 casita, unattached, with separate entrance and private yard, a great guest house or rental.

The Ming Li-Lowe built structure’s upper floor has a light-filled loft with high wood-beam ceiling, wood floor, two patios, a small kitchen, and a bath. The loft-style bedroom and a small bath are above. The ground floor includes a flex room that opens to a side patio, an outdoor space in the back, the garage and the entrance. There is a bath, a 2-car garage with an adjacent bar area, a former dark room, and a utility room with laundry. Two separate outside staircases lead up to the loft. The building lends itself to flexible use, ideal as creative office space, artist studio, or for many other purposes.

The yard of the vintage casita has fruit trees and connects to a second 2-car garage that is part of the newer structure. The property is in a desirable residential WLA neighborhood, only 5 blocks west of hip Sawtelle Ave restaurants and shops, as well as Santa Monica Blvd businesses. David Ming Li-Lowe built the award winning and innovative ‘Earth Quake House’ and other creative ‘Steel House’ buildings.
