Emily Farnham
The architect planted her flag in the burgeoning Silver Lake neighborhood
in 2014 after stints at such prestigious firms as SOM, Architecture Research
Office, and Mark Cavagnero. She directs, in her words, a “mercifully small,
manageable office” specializing in thoughtful reinventions of the lean
midcentury houses that proliferate in L.A. “I thrive on context,” says Farnham
(pictured at home), pointing to notable projects such as her renovation of
actress Mandy Moore’s Pasadena home (AD, July/August 2018). Farnham’s
first ground-up house, for her own family, is next. “A blank slate is exciting,”
she notes, “and a little intimidating.” emilyfarnham.com
