The task was complicated by a lot that was only 2,640 square feet. Now, eight years later, the colorful solution has a colorful name: the Chartreuse House. "I'm obsessed with this color," says Little, now a partner in the Venice firm Layer with Emily White. "It's not a color I see on houses in general, but I find it compelling."

Home of the Times: The new-old Craftsman
Little and Brennan called in Victoria Yust and Ian McIlvaine of Tierra Sol y Mar, a Venice architectural firm, to join them as a design team. Their mission: Help the couple brainstorm ways to maximize interior space without changing the home?s presence on the street. "We could easily have built quite a bit more, but none of us wanted to," says Yust, who still finds it "amazing" that Little was in architecture school while the house was under construction. "The idea was to create a space that feels larger than it is."
