Richard Orne, Architect | Garden Street Studios | Live/Work Art Compound (Dual Zoning)
Escape the pressures of big-city life at this unique live/work art compound less than a mile from the beach in downtown Ventura. Near the junction of Main Street and Ventura Avenue, the property sits close to restaurants, boutiques, parks, and trails that define the city’s easygoing charm. Bike paths run along the coast and inland toward Ojai and Pine Mountain. It’s a place where parking is simple, the pace slows, and friendly greetings are part of daily life.
On a quiet two-block street with no through traffic—surrounded by residential, commercial, studios, and light industry—this is an inviting setting for creative living and working. Zoned for both commercial and residential use, four separate structures allow wide flexibility. The compound can act as a distinctive single-family alternative with four bedrooms, four bathrooms, and three additional studios with powder rooms, or operate as an income property with individual utility metering and potential for up to seven tenants. All units will be delivered vacant. As a commercial asset, the spaces can serve storefront, office, creative, fabrication, or retail purposes.
Architecturally, the environment is striking: a renovated 1920s bungalow anchors the rear, while three newer stand-alone buildings front the site, each pairing an upper one-bedroom with a ground-floor studio. Landscaped courtyards connect the structures. Cantilevered forms, exposed steel, corrugated metal, and ribbon windows echo Case Study inspirations. Inside, a restrained palette includes sliding polycarbonate panels, polished concrete and Marmoleum floors, and operable windows framing views of nearby hills and winter snowcaps. The bungalow features board-and-batten siding, cork floors, new finishes, covered decks, and French doors opening to a private patio.

Neighborhood guide and local insights
Downtown Austin runs from the Colorado River north to the Capitol, bounded by I-35 to the east and Lamar to the west. It is the densest residential market in Central Texas with high-rise condos, historic lofts, and luxury towers concentrated in distinct sub-districts. The Seaholm District anchors the west end with the Seaholm Residences and the new Google tower reshaping the skyline. Rainey Street sits along the lake's north shore - what was a street of bungalow bars is now flanked by 40-story residential towers including 70 Rainey and The Lakeshore. The Warehouse District between 3rd and 6th Streets draws buyers who want walkable nightlife and restaurant access. Congress Avenue bisects downtown and remains the civic spine connecting the Capitol to the lake. The Austonian (56 floors), The Independent (58 floors), and 360 Condominiums are the marquee towers. Newer projects like Sixth & Guadalupe and The Republic continue adding inventory. Price points range from $400K studio condos to $5M+ penthouses with lake and Hill Country views. Walk Score averages 95+. The MetroRail Red Line stops at downtown station. Major employers including the State of Texas, UT Austin, and a growing tech presence (Google, Meta, Apple satellite offices) generate consistent housing demand. Nightlife, dining, live music, and Lady Bird Lake hike-and-bike trail are all within walking distance. Buyers here are typically professionals, empty nesters downsizing from suburban estates, investors, and out-of-state relocations drawn to Austin's urban core. HOA fees range from $400/month in older buildings to $2,000+ in full-service towers. Most buildings include concierge, pool, fitness center, and secure parking.
