l.a. spanish revival
Our clients were a young couple who had recently purchased a home in South Los Angeles. After tackling a few renovations on their own, they sought our help with the kitchen and other key spaces. Austin, having grown up in the neighborhood, felt a personal connection to the project, and we poured that sentiment into every detail.
Our goal was to honor the home’s original Spanish Revival character while blending in the modern design the couple loved. Together with our clients, we explored countless mood boards until we arrived at a vision we all felt excited about. To make the home even more personal, we designed and crafted custom art and furniture pieces that reflected their style and story.
