Our client was newly widowed when she bought this condo in West Hollywood just down from the Sunset Strip close to Chateau Marmot, one of her favorite spots. She was excited about creating a new space for herself that reflected her personal style and gave her a new sense of home. We stripped years of remodels and layers of materials from the floors and walls, added a bar, and reimaged the space in a clean transitional style that was a match for her happy nature. Burled walnut was selected for the cabinetry in the living room, bar, and dining room to unify the small spaces and soften the sleek lines of the cabinetry. We visually expanded the space by opening the walls in the dining room and installing a large format marble tile throughout the main living areas to bounce light into the interior. Key pieces like the red chandelier and art in the living room were selected to spark joy and bring a light, cheerful attitude to the home.
Project Overview
Lisa B.M.
"We undertook a total remodel of our home which required us to move out for 8 months. We have a great contractor who did a fantastic job remodeling our home. It was the services of RJI that brought the entire project to life. Rebecca served as the critical connective tissue between our contractor, our architect and the design industry. When Rebecca came on board and translated the architectural drawings into space plans, it gave us the confidence to make the investment and go forward with the remodel. She has both an architectural and a design eye and the combination for us was critical. Her abiding attention to how we actually use the space helped us to not only avoid several critical mistakes it also ensured that the end result was a home chalk full of usable, beautiful space. The final measure for us is that we are simply delighted with every inch of our home. It is beautiful and a perfect place for us to grow our family. I give her the highest recommendation. She will be my first call when we redo our vacation home, or undertake any other large project that requires an integration of architecture, design and practicality."
