"When Mark Egerstrom and Brian Grosdidier bought their 600-square-foot cottage on a tiny West Hollywood lot, years of neglect had stripped away all its original 1920s charm. &nbsp;\u201CThere were aluminum windows, torn-off siding\u2009\u2026\u2009there was literally a crack pipe in the closet,\u201D says Mark, an interior architect. \u201CBut it was an amazing location.\u201D Mark, who oversaw the two-year remodel, opened up the formerly choppy floor plan, adding glass walls, a loft room, and a roof deck \u201Cbackyard\u201D on top of it all. Because of building setback rules in West Hollywood, \u201Cwe couldn\u2019t go out any farther,\u201D Mark says. \u201CSo we went up.\u201D\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
