Inspiration for an eclectic home design remodel in New Orleans

Chistie's Beverly Hills transforms a nondescript office building into a dynamic neighbor to shops, restaurants and galleries on Camden Way. The early California style facade is inspired by the location and client's desire for the building to express a sense of history and permanence. Beverly Hills strict planning department and architectural review process was an important consideration for the facade that is inspired by buildings typical in Santa Barbara and captures the spirit of Southern California. To achieve the authentic look for the intricate stone decorations and trim on the exterior facade was a challenge. Too often attempts at recreating similar decorations fall short. The design team researched fabricators and products and found an artisan specialized in custom glass fiber reinforced concrete, GFRC, design and construction. The decorations were developed in sketches based on the the design teams renderings. The artisans sketches were reviewed and approved before the final pieces were cast and shipped for installation by the local contractor. Custom and standard shapes are used to achieve a rich and authentic looking decoration with while controlling costs. Accenting the stonework and hand troweled plaster is the custom wrought iron work at the windows and doors. Based on drawings by the design team, a local shop designed and fabricated each piece to fit. Canvas awnings, Spanish tile roof and flag poles complete the study in vernacular architecture.

A dining room, strategically positioned at the heart of the house, that seamlessly blends into its surroundings yet feels like a separate room. One of the standout features is a custom-made leather bench attached to the staircase wall, adding a touch of uniqueness and inviting comfort. The furniture, skillfully crafted by a local shop, complements the space perfectly, with its thoughtfully placed arrangement, size, and scale. Despite being situated in a passing zone, the dining room exudes an exclusive ambiance, creating a distinct and intimate setting for gatherings and shared meals.

A 40s farm sink with drain board was given new life in this outdoor treatment. The walnut dry sink was found in a local antique shop and had the stamp of the original buyer in Michigan on it. The hardware and wood was all original. A drawer was cut down to make room for the plumbing and a piece was added to the inside for structure - it also made a nice place for a scrub brush. The porcelain was in great shape, and the new tall faucet allows for a water bucket, spray for a grill rack or simply to wash hands. The plumbing is tied into the kitchen on the other side of the 18" brick wall.
