A mid-century modern sanctuary

Experiences ยท Film Director Sabbatical

A sanctuary
to create

A mid-century modern sanctuary set into the hillside โ€” a serene retreat away from the bustle.

Furnishing this home was a meticulous process: honoring its original architectural vision while tailoring the space for a serene retreat amidst a busy creative life. The result is a dynamic atmosphere that juxtaposes materials and design eras, contrasting the home's sharp lines with soft, considered curves.

A masterful makeover

Designed as a duplex shortly after its architects graduated, the dwelling nestles at acute angles into the hillside โ€” maximizing western sunset views and creating intriguing interior geometries across its levels.

Restored with care, the living and dining area sits a floor above the primary suite, its woodwork and bookcases brought back to the warmth the house was always meant to have. It's a space designed to slow you down and let the work come.

A great hideaway for film directors.
