Before & After: Tarzana

This home came to us with (mostly) great bones—but it was unmistakably frozen in the 1980s. Our clients, a young family with a deep appreciation for texture, desert influences, and warm earth tones, were ready to bring it firmly into this decade without losing a sense of calm or understatement. The goal was a thoughtful refresh rather than a total reinvention: modern, grounded, and effortless. By reworking the floor plan and completely reimagining the kitchen, dining area, and primary bedroom, we transformed the home into a space that feels current, cohesive, and perfectly aligned with the way they live today.

KITCHEN BEFORE

KITCHEN AFTER

We removed the wall dividing the kitchen and dining area, to transform the kitchen into an open space with a breakfast table.

DINING BEFORE

DINING AFTER

The home had a formal living room the clients felt they’d never use. We transformed this space with amazing ceiling heights into their formal dining room instead, creating an expansive space for their regular dinner gatherings. A custom fireplace is the quiet backdrop for elegant Jeanneret and Noguchi classics.
