Clean-lined and contemporary—but far from stark—the Dexifield office desk is a fresh style awakening. Sleek scale makes it a natural fit for smaller spaces. Light finish beautifully enhances the rustic look of replicated elm grain. Sleek, linear frame and industrial corner bracket accents, donning a sophisticated bronze-tone finish, play perfectly with the chic yet earthy aesthetic.

The Impressive Studio City Mid-Century Exterior Masterpiece was a comprehensive interior and exterior remodel, revitalizing a dated property into a stunning modern sanctuary. The homeowners sought to blend mid-century design with a contemporary twist, emphasizing clean lines, natural materials, and expansive views. We transformed the exterior with a sleek wood-paneled entrance, smooth stucco walls, and minimalist landscaping, creating an inviting curb appeal that reflects the home's architectural roots. Large, custom glass doors seamlessly connect the indoors with the outdoors, bathing the interior in natural light and offering breathtaking views of the surrounding Studio City landscape.
Inside, we continued the mid-century theme by selecting warm wood flooring, an open-concept layout, and modern fixtures that merge style with comfort. The homeowners wanted a space that felt sophisticated yet warm, and our team worked closely with them throughout the project to ensure every detail met their vision. As a Studio City-based company, we took pride in sourcing local materials and embracing the area's aesthetic. This remodel has resulted in a mid-century masterpiece that not only enhances the home’s functionality but also stands as a true statement piece in the neighborhood.

In this Hollywood Contemporary Comfort Bathroom Remodel, the goal was to create a space that balanced modern design with comfort and functionality. The homeowners, inspired by clean lines and minimalist aesthetics, wanted a bright and airy bathroom where they could relax and unwind after long days in the heart of Hollywood. We used large white subway tiles in the shower and complemented them with hexagonal floor tiles to create a cohesive and timeless look. The custom-built double vanity, with a sleek quartz countertop, adds a luxurious touch while providing ample storage. Frameless glass shower doors enhance the open feel, while soft, ambient lighting creates a serene atmosphere.
This project was especially meaningful because the homeowners, long-time residents of the Hollywood Hills, shared their vision of bringing both style and tranquility into their space. As a trusted local contractor in the Hollywood area, Concept brought this vision to life with exceptional craftsmanship and attention to detail. Known for being one of the leading kitchen and bathroom remodelers in Los Angeles, Concept uses only the highest quality materials and ensures each project meets the unique needs of the homeowners.

Our clients for this project wanted help with furnishing this home that they recently moved to. They wanted us to change the lighting as well and make the space their own. One of our clients preferred a farmhouse aesthetic while the other wanted a contemporary touch. Our Montecito studio worked to find a design solution that would make both of them fall in love with their home. By mixing dark metals and weathered wood with neutral fabrics, our studio was able to create a contemporary farmhouse feel throughout the home. To bring in another layer of interest, we worked with a local gallery to find pieces that would reflect the aesthetic of the home and add pops of color.

Alloy was truly fortunate to have the opportunity to restore and renovate this 1850’s log cabin at Afton Mountain. No home looks more at home than this cabin in the foothills.
The cabin suffered years of decay and an unsympathetic interior renovation so our first step was to work with a local log cabin specialist to correctly restore the structure. We then rebuilt much of the interior to have everything a modern home needs while staying true to the log cabin aesthetic.
On all of our projects we carefully research materials and finishes but this one really took that to the next level. We enjoyed the challenge and the chance to show off the impressive craftsmanship of our carpenters.
As you approach on the winding path, the log cabin feels like a part of the landscape. And now, when you come inside, you can keep that connected feeling – in comfort.

Pine Perch commands dramatic views to the eastern plains, from the Pine Brook Hills community just west of Boulder. Nestled into a sloping foothills site, the home is a lively beginning for a newly married couple and their visiting children and grandchildren.
The continuation of materials from interior to exterior creates visually engaging indoor-outdoor connections. Structural stone walls extend from living spaces to outside buttressed walls, and steel ceiling beams ascend continuously from the Great Room to the uplifted shed roof outdoors. Corner window walls further help to “break the container” of living in this natural setting.
Centered on food and good times, this sun-filled home expresses an uplifting spirit that the couple enthusiastically celebrates as life’s next chapter. The aesthetic is eclectic, while comfortably modern in its local response to site and materiality.

The living room fireplace was once completely tiled and the surround took away from the beautiful mosaic on the facade. We covered the checkered tile (so as to not disturb the mosaic) with a simple stone. Now, the beauty of the mosaic shines through. We also replaced repetitive throw pillows with more of a variety of colorful pillows in several patterns for a more Moroccan feel. We chose to reupholster the large square ottoman with faux leathers for durability and aesthetics, while leaving the dark blue shag rug for an added texture. The media console and TV frame were an original design we came up with while working with local workroom Paloma Creations. It was carefully designed to house all of his equipment that not only runs the television, but the whole house! The frame is faced with a gorgeous aqua grasscloth while the furniture is lacquered in a creamy white.

Our clients were looking to build an income property for use as a short term rental in their backyard. In order to keep maximize the available space on a limited footprint, we designed the ADU around a spiral staircase leading up to the loft bedroom. The vaulted ceiling gives the small space a much larger appearance.
To provide privacy for both the renters and the homeowners, the ADU was set apart from the house with its own private entrance.
The design of the ADU was done with local Pacific Northwest aesthetics in mind, including green exterior paint and a mixture of woodgrain and metal fixtures for the interior.
Durability was a major concern for the homeowners. In order to minimize potential damages from renters, we selected quartz countertops and waterproof flooring. We also used a high-quality interior paint that will stand the test of time and clean easily.
The end result of this project was exactly what the client was hoping for, and the rental consistently receives 5-star reviews on Airbnb.

The owners requested a Private Resort that catered to their love for entertaining friends and family, a place where 2 people would feel just as comfortable as 42. Located on the western edge of a Wisconsin lake, the site provides a range of natural ecosystems from forest to prairie to water, allowing the building to have a more complex relationship with the lake - not merely creating large unencumbered views in that direction. The gently sloping site to the lake is atypical in many ways to most lakeside lots - as its main trajectory is not directly to the lake views - allowing for focus to be pushed in other directions such as a courtyard and into a nearby forest.
The biggest challenge was accommodating the large scale gathering spaces, while not overwhelming the natural setting with a single massive structure. Our solution was found in breaking down the scale of the project into digestible pieces and organizing them in a Camp-like collection of elements:
- Main Lodge: Providing the proper entry to the Camp and a Mess Hall
- Bunk House: A communal sleeping area and social space.
- Party Barn: An entertainment facility that opens directly on to a swimming pool & outdoor room.
- Guest Cottages: A series of smaller guest quarters.
- Private Quarters: The owners private space that directly links to the Main Lodge.
These elements are joined by a series green roof connectors, that merge with the landscape and allow the out buildings to retain their own identity. This Camp feel was further magnified through the materiality - specifically the use of Doug Fir, creating a modern Northwoods setting that is warm and inviting. The use of local limestone and poured concrete walls ground the buildings to the sloping site and serve as a cradle for the wood volumes that rest gently on them. The connections between these materials provided an opportunity to add a delicate reading to the spaces and re-enforce the camp aesthetic.
The oscillation between large communal spaces and private, intimate zones is explored on the interior and in the outdoor rooms. From the large courtyard to the private balcony - accommodating a variety of opportunities to engage the landscape was at the heart of the concept.

The Bright Venice Beach Open-Concept Transformation was all about bringing a fresh, airy feel to this charming coastal home. The homeowners dreamed of an open floor plan that would enhance natural light and create a seamless flow between the kitchen, dining, and living areas. To achieve this, we took out a dividing wall, instantly transforming the previously closed-off spaces into a spacious, inviting layout perfect for beachside living. By incorporating large windows and a light color palette, we maximized the natural sunlight, giving the home a breezy, beachy vibe that reflects the relaxed atmosphere of Venice Beach.
Throughout the process, we worked closely with the homeowners to select coastal-inspired finishes, like driftwood-toned flooring, to keep the design true to the beach style they envisioned. This open floor plan not only enhanced the home's aesthetic but also created a versatile space for family gatherings and entertaining friends. As locals who understand the Venice Beach lifestyle, we were thrilled to bring this vision to life and make the most of their beautiful beachside location.
