Interior designer Sophie Goineau and Los Angeles studio Enclosures Architects have restored Cove Way House in Beverly Hills by Alfred T Wilkes with updated finishes, "preserving the integrity of original LA modernism".
Located in LA's upscale Beverly Hills neighbourhood, Cove Way House is a low-slung villa that was originally built in 1957. It is laid out on a single floor, and contains four bedrooms.

It features several design elements that were novel at the time, such as floor-to-ceiling glazing in the living spaces, a flat roof, and an open concept for the kitchen, living, and dining rooms.
The team's intention was to highlight these elements within the renovation. The revamp preserves the home's open-plan kitchen
"The original Alfred T Wilkes house, built in 1957, was a true example of mid-century "post and beam" construction, allowing for the wide-open flow of space from room to room, and the feature of a curved glass exterior wall, rare for the style and era," said the team.
"The original interior features were all enhanced in the restoration; flat roof lines, indoor to outdoor fluidity, open living plan and an abundance of natural light."
