Studio City, CA

For this home, we focused on achieving a seamless balance of masculine and feminine aesthetics. The home’s strong architectural details—such as walnut slatted wood treatments, black marble surfaces, and steel-and-glass accents—established a bold foundation. To counterbalance these elements, we softened the palette with earthy neutrals, plush curved furniture, and layers of natural greenery. Over a period of three years we worked on every space in this home, from a full exterior refresh to multiple guest rooms, the primary, and a nursery for their growing family. We also undertook the conversion of the garage into a luxury bonus suite. Custom furnishings and bespoke elements factor throughout, making this a truly one-of-a-kind home.

At its core, this project was about creating a welcoming yet elegant oasis that aligned with the homeowners’ lifestyle. By maintaining a modern aesthetic while introducing layers of warmth, we ensured that their new guest suite felt like a true extension of their home. The transformation of this once-utilitarian garage into a serene, high-end retreat was a testament to the power of intentional design and the enduring relationship we built with our clients.
