Home of the Day: Rethinking a classic Craftsman in Hollywood

This Craftsman-style home was rebuilt and expanded by the Stewart-Gulrajani Design Team reusing some of the original 100-year-old Batchelder fireplace tiles and preserving the mature trees. The resulting modernized house has more than double the square footage yet still fits in on a street where all the homes are Craftsman.
