This full home mid-century remodel project is in an affluent community perched on the hills known for its spectacular views of Los Angeles. Our retired clients were returning to sunny Los Angeles from South Carolina. Amidst the pandemic, they embarked on a two-year-long remodel with us - a heartfelt journey to transform their residence into a personalized sanctuary. Opting for a crisp white interior, we provided the perfect canvas to showcase the couple's legacy art pieces throughout the home. Carefully curating furnishings that complemented rather than competed with their remarkable collection. It's minimalistic and inviting. We created a space where every element resonated with their story, infusing warmth and character into their newly revitalized soulful home.

Melanie and Jose desired a complete shower makeover. They envisioned a transformation to elevate their ordinary shower into an elegant and timeless space. The shower's transformation featured over-sized subway tiles in Bare White for a bright, timeless look, and Victoria Grey Rouen Mosaic was beautifully used in both their wall storage niche and shaving foot niche. They chose Deep Blue Penny Round for the shower floor and an accent band on the wall, which infused the space with a playful yet elegant touch. The finishing touch was the Delta In2ition shower head. This 2-in-1 shower head added the convenience of having a handheld without overcrowding the clean look of their new shower walls, which transformed showering from a routine activity into a luxurious experience.

Focus was placed on the aesthetic, as well as on the function. One important characteristic of the project was conceiving the house as a refuge, a cozy place after a tiring day of work and an oasis of silence in the urban chaos. Personality and individuality were infused by custom made furniture (adjusted to the dimensions of the rooms for rational use of space), well-chosen statement furniture pieces (dining table, wall clock, lighting, nightstands, vanity desk chair, etc.) and attention to details. Breaking the monotony was accomplished by unexpected combinations of textures and materials: slate on the furniture fronts, wood, painted MDF, cow leather carpet. The main stylistic direction is given by elegant lines that evoke Classicism but strongly anchored into the present day, while at the same time maintaining simple and clean graphics. Good communication with the beneficiaries led to an interior design concept that emphasizes the qualities of their home.

In the living room, a blue Chesterfield leather sofa commands attention, bringing a vibrant touch to the space. The neutral hues of mushroom on the walls create a serene backdrop, allowing the sofa to stand out even more. A large brown coffee table with gold legs adds charm and boldness, becoming a focal point of the room. Vintage decor elements uplift the mood, infusing the living room with a timeless appeal. Adorning the back wall of the sofa, a large painting depicting an old town landscape adds character and serves as a captivating focal point. The overall design exudes a true classic aesthetic, combining comfort, elegance, and a touch of nostalgia.The four mirror panels add depth to the space.

Featured in Dwell, Hacienda Granada is an eclectic modern residence designed by Working Holiday Studio that subtly combines the Spanish influences of a Mexican hacienda with Scandinavian minimalism and features All Weather Architectual Aluminun custom windows and doors. Carlos Nuade and Whitney Brown run Working Holiday, a multi disciplinary creative studio based in Los Angeles that boasts a portfolio of several renovation projects across Southern California. Originally built in 1962, the 2,762-square-foot residence with 4 bedrooms and 2.5 baths was not the couple’s dream home but they saw potential in its vaulted ceilings, ample-sized kitchen, backyard pool and large garage and more importantly, they found a space where they could infuse with their own personal history and distinct taste. "Our style is very modern and minimalist," Carlos explains. "But we still wanted to include some of the warmth, accents, and tones from traditional Spanish architecture." Carlos and Whitney chose All Weather Series 5000 casement and fixed windows with SDL's to infuse the home with the Hacienda vibe. They replaced the existing patio entry door with expansive Series 8100 Multi Slide Doors that connect to the living and dining room. The couple opened up the kitchen by adding an All Weather Series 7000 French Doors and repositioned the island so you can see into the house when they are cooking. They also reshaped most of the interior doorways, creating arches to enhance the Spanish-Mexican vibe. All Weather was honored to be selected for Hacienda Granada because Carlos and Whitney treat their projects like showrooms and they only bring on brands they like and curate the space accordingly.

Located in San Francisco’s coveted Jackson Square, this project – our third with this dapper client – was not entirely a blank slate. The modern architecture, urban views, and art deco entry inspired the design of this relaxed and sophisticated bachelor pad. The fresh palette of white walls provided a perfect backdrop for furniture and lighting with modern lines and sleek angles. Accents of ochre, rich velvety copper, and brass details infused the space with warmth to balance deep blue tones, subtle grays, and refined black lines. In the main living space, the sleek Paulina Deck Chair from Una Malan sits beside a tailored custom sofa designed with a modern black frame, supple leather, soft linen, and a subtle plaid. In other rooms, the simple forms of the dining table, upholstered bedroom bench, and bedside table lamps are handsomely dressed in textural details of carved wood, hammered metal, and wrapped leather.

When a young professional couple approached us to decorate the main floor of their brand new modern townhouse in Port Coquitlam, we were very excited. Having moved from a Gastown condo, the couple was eager to infuse this suburban location with a funky yet sophisticated downtown vibe. They were also looking for a neutral backdrop with some hits of colour and asked us to incorporate wallpaper. The statement artwork that we selected above the fireplace set the tone for this project. We started with a pair of sleek neutral leather sofas to maximize seating in the small living space and layered them with a variety of toss pillows in blues, teals & turquoise then added a few pops of orange. We defined the front entrance and dining area with a stunning marbleized grey and white wallpaper by Graham and Brown. The dark wood furniture in the dining area adds contrast and sophistication balancing the dark stained kitchen cabinets opposite. The resulting look is clean, modern and playful.
