A Compound In Echo Park To Call Your Own, $2.3M

Philip Ferrato May 2, 2025

The Star Residence—a Post + Beam classic originally designed in 1956 by USC educator and architect William Mann—has been immaculately rescripted by developer/designer Andreas E. G. Larsson of HabHouse, noted for his sensitive and exemplary restoration of previously overlooked properties by architectural legends like Richard Neutra, A. Quincy Jones, Ray Kappe and Calvin Straub. Both the main house and guest cottage/studio offer a variety of indoor and outdoor spaces for working, relaxing and entertaining, all with views of the surrounding Echo Park landscape and its L.A.-vernacular dwellings.

Entirely modest, the structures retain their Post + Beam roots. Below, the main house living, dining room and kitchen—appropriately, Larrson has chosen to illuminate some of the spaces with Isamu Noguchi’s contemporaneous Akari pendant fixtures.
