In the heart of Los Angeles, where architectural diversity thrives, styles like Spanish Colonial, Mission Revival, Craftsman, Mid-Century Modern, and California Bungalows tell stories of the past. Yet, as we embrace the 21st century, these homes face the challenge of adaptation. Enter Home Front Build, a pioneering architecture, interior design, and construction firm founded by Steve Pallrand. Their mission: to channel the spirit of original designers and breathe new life into historic homes while respecting their rich heritage.
Honoring the Past While Embracing the Present
“Instead of remodeling and stripping homes of their original essence, we cherish the intent of their design era,” Pallrand explains. His approach is about maintaining historical integrity while incorporating modern comforts like air conditioning and solar panels. By doing so, homeowners can enjoy the best of both worlds—living in homes that honor their history while meeting contemporary needs.
Homes built in the early 1900s often lacked insulation, featured outdated gas appliances, and had kitchens not designed for today’s multitasking lifestyle. Home Front Build’s focus on aesthetics honors the architectural period while modernizing spaces for today’s entertaining and family dynamics.
