Home Design Where Artists Flourish
Two artists - husband and wife - David and Mea. One an architect turned director, the other a writer and sommelier. Both very passionate about every detail that goes into the creation of all of their living spaces; a restoration in Italy, a loft in New York, and an equestrian ranch in Los Angeles.
We listened deeply, and what emerged was the language of artists, and a rewarding collaboration between everyone involved. Here are some of their preferences we referenced in our design of their Mandeville Canyon house:
Contemporary and Italian architectural sensibilities.
The play of natural light constantly changing and emanating from surprising places.
A respect for nature and earth in color and textures (our client mixed plaster colors and made wall samples themselves to find just the right exterior colors).
Rich, yet organic in appointments - a rough luxury from water features to flooring.
Craftsmanship in every detail.
They call this their Xanadu Ranch. Xanadu indeed.
