For this very special property in the hills of LA, our clients invited SSP to update a kitchen and primary bedroom suite. New floorplans on both first and second levels are oriented to the stunning view of downtown. Under a Mills Act contract, our alterations to the exterior were limited, so we took our cues for the interior renovation from existing prairie-style details within the house, including a recurring duet of ceiling heights and original doug fir moldings, trims, and picture rails.

Materials include new waxed cherry cabinetry throughout, polished nickel fixtures, unglazed quarry tile, foundry brick, handmade wall tiles and quartzite surfaces.
