A studio suite in Rancho Cucamonga with a story behind it: the client reimagined what was once her loft family room into a private studio for her college-aged son. The third phase of an ongoing, whole-home collaboration, it turns a well-loved shared space into a room that's truly his.
The direction is confident midcentury modern, deep navy, cognac leather, and burnt orange, a departure from the transitional living spaces downstairs. A diagonal board-and-batten wall in rich blue anchors the suite, while warm woods and clean lines carry the era through. But the details are what make it personal. A vinyl lover, he got a dedicated space designed for his record collection. And the framed pieces on the gallery wall aren't just art, they're his grandfather's high school football programs, custom framed, so a piece of family history lives in the room too.
The palette follows through to the private bath, where patterned tile and matte black fixtures give a compact space real character. The result is a complete world in one room, bedroom, sitting area, and full bath, designed around the person who lives in it.
