SILVER LAKE RESIDENCE

INTERIOR DESIGN
Redesign & Remodel

THE DESIGN CHALLENGE

High atop the hills of Silver Lake, California, was a newly purchased home.

But with an entry that felt more like a hotel lobby than a welcome landing—as grand as it was uninviting—the excited new owners knew a little design magic was needed.

ENTRYWAY
REIMAGINED

A once-cavernous entry and walled-off patio were reworked as one connected space. Opening the right-side wall linked indoors and out, softened the home’s stark architecture, and created a place for arrival, conversation, and leisure.

LOOKING BACK TOWARD THE FRONT DOOR
Proposing an unexpected design direction, the boxed-in, impersonal space gave way to natural light, layered textures, and refined comfort. Re-envisioned with tailored seating, a custom wine wall, and a compact grand piano, the entryway became a lived-in, welcoming space to move through, gather, relax, and entertain.

WITHIN THE SIDE PATIO
A previously unused side path—accessible only from outside the home—was transformed into a calming retreat seamlessly connected to the interior. A central water feature anchors the space, flanked by cozy bookended seating that invites relaxed, everyday use.
