Our collaboration with Chinmaya Misra of CHINCHIN Design and the sophisticated and well-traveled clients, resulted in a transformative renovation of this two-story residence in the Mulholland area. The project focuses on enhancing the connection between the interior and the natural surroundings, particularly the scenic views of Runyon Canyon.
Key highlights of the renovation include the reconfiguration of the interior, the addition of skylights and expansive new windows to capture light and the lush panoramic vistas, and the incorporation of new windows in the primary suite to showcase stunning cityscapes of downtown Los Angeles.
The complete renovation of the kitchen and baths allowed us to modernize and optimize functional spaces within the home; and the smart integration of the kitchen with the rest of the house creates a seamless and contemporary living space that maximizes the beauty of the canyon surroundings. The emphasis on forging a connection with nature is further reinforced by opening up the home throughout to better appreciate the canyon's beauty.
Additionally, the inclusion of several custom built-ins is a thoughtful approach to accommodating the homeowners' interesting collectibles and stunning art from their global travels. This custom work respects the aesthetic preferences of the homeowners but also showcases their unique experiences and treasures in their newly envisioned home.
