Los Angeles Hills

Amidst the Hollywood Hills rests this mid-century haven. This project called for shade, greenery and an inviting earthiness that our returning clients could retreat to at the end of each sunny Los Angeles day. Rather than imposing a new identity on the space, our studio sought to uncover and honor its inherent essence, allowing the architecture and surroundings to gently guide the design. The result is a home that feels as though it has always existed in this landscape, with each material and texture carefully chosen to resonate with the rhythm of light and nature.

 
 
 
 

Although the floor plan remains relatively open and fluid, we carefully sculpted the light to offer moments of respite throughout the space. Skylights gently draw the outdoors in, while dramatic curtains and unexpected dark walls create intimate pockets of quiet. Each detail is considered to encourage both connection and solitude, with a dialogue between modern and mid-century elements. Our intention was to create a space that feels timeless yet alive, where materials and light converge to evoke a sense of inspiring calm.

We opted for opulence through organic materials: verdant, teeming plants, soft wools and linens as well as bespoke furniture designed by Corinne Mathern Studio. We brought in lighting from our own collection, and to help balance sharp lines and cool tones we partnered with Sharon Zoldan Art Advisory whose selection of undulating drawings and textural artwork made each room sing. Notable works include: line drawings by Morandi, Klimt and Maria Lassnig, hanging sculptures by Lee Ufan and Gotthard Graubner, and a Louise Nevelson hanging paper piece.
