Ali Jeevanjee and Poonam Sharma, the husband-and-wife principals of <a href="http://www.locllc.org">LOC Architects</a>, bought two second-story apartments in Los Angeles Chinatown with the intent of creating a livable, light-filled, live-work space. It was a challenge: The one-bedroom units were dark and cramped, with low ceilings and an enclosed kitchen. Plus the couple had to resist making any architectural changes to the exterior that would have affected the historic charm of the street.
