Small House with Big Upside

la-hm-todd-segal-home-photos-20150318-020

Check out this story in LA Times about our friend, the talented local contractor Todd Segal. Todd’s Highland Park residence is an ingeniously conceived, beautifully renovated cabin that’s nearly a century old and measures just 624 square feet. We’re in love with this house, especially because it proves that you don’t need a lot of space to have a whole lot of home.
