Frequently Asked Questions

1. What was the design goal behind this Highland Park project?

Our client wanted a space that honored the home’s architectural history while layering in mid-century elements and artisanal craftsmanship. The result is a warm, soulful blend of old-world textures and clean modern silhouettes.

2. Were any original features preserved or reimagined?

Yes — we preserved the character of the home while updating it with new custom ceiling beams, arched windows, and wall textures inspired by Roman clay and European plaster techniques. These details add depth and timelessness throughout.

3. Tell us more about the tile and mosaic work.

This project featured intricate mosaic tilework sourced globally and custom-laid throughout the bathrooms, entryways, and exterior accents. Each tile pattern was selected to enhance the old-world narrative while remaining modern and curated.

4. Were the windows and architectural details fully rebuilt?

Yes. All windows were replaced with new energy-efficient systems designed to match the original profiles. From trim to archways to the custom ceiling beams, every architectural element was rebuilt or reimagined to blend authenticity with performance.

5. How did the interior design reflect both mid-century and Mediterranean styles?

We paired curved, mid-century-inspired furniture with rustic finishes and vintage rugs. Warm woods, sculptural lighting, and artisan ceramics helped bridge the two eras, creating a layered, lived-in space that feels both elevated and relaxed.
