Designed for Little Sleepies, a family apparel brand, this 10,000-square-foot office renovation in Hollywood, California transformed an empty commercial space into a warm, functional workplace for both staff and visitors. The project was planned as a workplace interior that supports daily operations while creating a more inviting and usable office environment.
The design organizes a range of spaces for work, meeting, and informal gathering, including conference rooms, open work areas, communal lunch tables, kitchen amenities, and lounge-style seating. Rather than treating the office as a purely corporate interior, the project was shaped to feel comfortable, collaborative, and adaptable to the rhythms of everyday use.
This project reflects experience in office renovation, workplace interiors, and commercial interior design, with an emphasis on turning underutilized space into a cohesive environment that supports both productivity and connection. The result is a workplace designed around flexibility, function, and a more welcoming sense of daily occupancy.

Designed for everyday durability and reliability, the system features high-quality hardware, including a 3-point locking system with a Bardi handle and a 2-1/4" dark lock cylinder with an oil finish, providing a reinforced lock, structural stability, and smooth operation.
The result is a timeless design that creates a harmonious contrast between the warmth of the interior and the natural landscape outside, combining classic style, durability, and craftsmanship designed to last.

Our clients envisioned a clean, contemporary kitchen designed for both functionality and entertaining. Passionate about cooking and entertaining guests, their priorities included generous work surfaces, discreet storage for small appliances, and ample space for serving ware, cookware, and dinnerware.
The cabinetry was selected for both aesthetics and ease of maintenance. A minimalist, hardware-free look keeps the space visually uncluttered. Lower cabinets operate via a continuous Euro-style channel, which seamlessly integrates with the refrigerator panels. Upper and tall cabinets feature a mix of touch-latch and servo-driven mechanisms, enhancing accessibility while maintaining a sleek profile.
A raised bar conceals cooktop clutter during meal prep and creates a welcoming space to serve and engage with guests. The U-shaped layout was essential to keep the work zone distinct from social areas while allowing smooth movement around the kitchen.
Lighting played a central role in the design. Multiple layers of illumination, all set to a bright 5000K color temperature per the homeowners' request, include dimmable toe-kick lights and a continuous recessed light channel along the tall cabinets. These create both ambiance and high-function lighting as needed.
For entertaining large groups, the kitchen features multiple ovens and a warming drawer—perfect for entertaining. On the refrigerator wall, servo-activated countertop cabinets conceal small appliances, with the countertop surface continuing inside for easy access. A built-in, barista-quality coffee machine is nestled between these cabinets, adding a touch of luxury.
For a clean look free of visible outlets, the team installed touch-activated, pop-out Legrand outlets with three-sided access. The color was custom-matched to complement the veining in the quartz countertops.
The tall cabinet adjacent to the double oven stores everyday dishware, conveniently located for setting the nearby dining table. At the end of the peninsula, a servo-activated double trash pullout allows easy access without interfering with the cook. A dedicated utensil pullout beside it keeps tools within reach while maintaining clear countertops.

Refined Continuity: Bridging Classical Architecture and Modern Living
This comprehensive remodel of a grand Cow Hollow residence reimagines a historically expressive envelope through a lens of contemporary livability, precision detailing, and material restraint. The design approach carefully balances the home’s classical proportions and ornamental heritage with a refined, modern sensibility—evident in the disciplined palette of warm neutrals, soft plasters, pale oak flooring, and tailored millwork. Circulation has been clarified and subtly expanded to enhance spatial flow, while openings are leveraged to capture light, garden outlooks, and distant water views. Throughout, architectural interventions are executed with a high level of craft, ensuring that new insertions—whether cabinetry, railings, or apertures—read as seamless continuations of the original structure rather than applied elements.
The kitchen serves as the operational and visual anchor of the home, conceived as a sculptural yet highly functional environment. Custom rift-cut cabinetry, softened through a desaturated finish, is paired with honed stone surfaces and integrated brass hardware to create a quiet, tactile richness. A monolithic island establishes a central gathering point, while perimeter work zones are carefully layered with concealed storage, integrated appliances, and open, backlit shelving that elevates everyday objects into curated displays. The adjacent bar and entertaining areas extend this language, reinforcing a cohesive hospitality-driven program. In parallel, the primary bathroom is designed as a serene, spa-like retreat, where bookmatched stone, frameless glass enclosures, and finely detailed metalwork converge. The composition prioritizes symmetry, clarity, and light—balancing generous volumes with intimate moments through integrated lighting, custom vanities, and a restrained material hierarchy.
The library and ancillary living spaces introduce a more intimate scale, anchored by bespoke built-ins that combine closed storage with illuminated display niches, creating depth and rhythm along the walls. Here, material transitions and furniture integration are handled with particular nuance, allowing the architecture to support both quiet retreat and social gathering. A continuous language of custom railings—executed in refined metal profiles—threads through the interior and extends outward, where the exterior gate and garden elements have been reinterpreted to align with the home’s renewed identity. The entry sequence is now defined by a calibrated interplay of solidity and transparency, with sculptural metalwork and landscape integration establishing a sense of arrival that is both secure and elegant. Collectively, the project reflects a holistic transformation—one that elevates performance, livability, and aesthetic clarity while preserving the inherent dignity of the original architecture.

This project showcases the installation of a modern steel insulated garage door for a homeowner in Schaumburg, IL. The work included removing the old door, installing a new insulated panel system, adding heavy‑duty rollers, and setting up a quiet smart opener with Wi‑Fi control. The upgrade improved energy efficiency, enhanced curb appeal, and delivered smooth, quiet operation for everyday use.

This backyard transformation in Sherman Oaks CA began when the owners of this home approached us looking to create a more usable space for everyday living and entertaining.
We redesigned the layout with gentle curves, natural finishes, and layered garden beds to add depth and character. The lush lawn connects the patio, pool, and outdoor lounge area, allowing easy movement between each zone.
Custom built seating and wooden patio were installed flush with the interior floors to extend the living space outdoors. An operable louvered patio cover allows control over sun and shade. Cedar paneling adds privacy and a strong visual backdrop, all constructed with careful attention to detail and long term durability.

Now we have a warm, highly-functional living room/dining room. Instead of focusing on getting new furniture, the clients needed storage and a sense of cohesive style. After meeting them and learning how they used the room, this came out to be the perfect solution. Besides the custom built-ins and storage, using the layout of the room to create separate zones in one room. Also creating a focal to the the fireplace and tv.
Fun tip: Clients did NOT want to fix the fireplace to work so I suggested flicking battery operated candles with a timer. They loved it! And set the remote to dusk, so everyday, the candles turn on and are ready for your evening, then shut off by bedtime. What a great no fuss ambience way to look at the details.
