mid-century ranch
Our clients purchased this mid-century ranch in Long Beach soon after getting married, with the dream of renovating it before starting a family. Over time, they realized the home presented far more challenges than they anticipated. Decades of piecemeal additions and mismatched renovations left the house feeling disjointed.
They turned to us to unify the space and bring coherence back to their home. By reimagining the front room, dining room, kitchen, and living room, we created a consistent design language that tied everything together, delivering the seamless and connected feel that mattered most to them.
