This reimagined 1927 Spanish Revival home is a celebration of thoughtful and meticulous design. The kitchen, a true centerpiece of the transformation, seamlessly blends modernity with the home's historic charm. The design story begins with the exquisite teal backsplash tile, a striking focal point that draws inspiration from the color of the exterior trim. This intentional choice creates a harmonious connection between the interior and exterior, showcasing the designer's attention to detail. The expanded opening between the dining room and kitchen not only enhances the spatial flow but also reflects a modern sensibility, making the home more open and inviting. The integration of new hardwood flooring, precisely matched to the original wood, speaks to the commitment to preserving the home's character while introducing fresh elements. Modern appliances and sleek plumbing fixtures are carefully chosen to complement the aesthetic without overpowering it. The custom cabinetry is both beautiful and functional, featuring innovative built-ins like a mixer-lift, spice drawer, and pull-outs designed to maximize usability and storage. Every element of this kitchen was designed with purpose, blending historic beauty with contemporary needs. It's a space where the art of design truly shines, offering a timeless yet modern ambiance for both everyday living and special gatherings. This kitchen isn't just a place to cook—it's a testament to the power of thoughtful design.

Living in Santa Monica and the surrounding LA beach cities often means maximizing space in stylish yet functional ways, especially in the kitchen. Custom built-ins are an excellent solution for adding creative storage while maintaining a sleek and modern aesthetic. Whether it's a pull-out pantry hidden behind cabinet doors, built-in spice racks neatly tucked into unused corners, or a pull-out cutting board integrated into the countertop, these storage innovations help streamline daily tasks. I recently collaborated with a family in Santa Monica to design a kitchen that met their need for extra storage while keeping the design minimal. We incorporated hidden shelving behind the island and a custom-built nook for small appliances, ensuring countertops stayed clutter-free while still easily accessible. These clever built-in features offer more than just practicality—they elevate the entire kitchen experience, making it both efficient and beautiful.

These clients fell in love with this home immediately when they saw it on the market, and quickly made the offer. From the unique lighting, retro architectural details, and view of the cascades, this home was full of potential to be remodeled to fit the lifestyle and personality of it’s new owners. Through the design process, we identified the aspects of the home that these owners loved, such as the Living Room soffit, grasscloth wallpaper, floating staircase and outdoor-feel basement. We then pinpointed the difficulties that the floor plan and materials presented for their lifestyle, such as the closed-off/compartmentalized floor plan, shag carpet in the living room, outdated finishes, lack of wood, and a newer kitchen that was an outlier within the style of the house. The finished product is a magazine-worthy transformation that thoughtfully unifies the owner’s personal style and the home’s retro roots.
