PROJECT OVERVIEW
Tucked inside a gated Irvine community, this 5,000-square-foot home offered breathtaking panoramic views — but its builder-grade finishes fell short of reflecting the owners’ eclectic and refined style. To make their new house feel like home, we layered in luxurious details that accentuate the soaring ceilings and generous floor plan. The result is a one-of-a-kind residence, thoughtfully infused with personal touches that celebrate the family’s passions, pastimes, and global travels.

PROJECT CHALLENGES
Infusing character and charm into a builder-grade home demanded both creativity and finesse. One of the key challenges was blending the diverse styles the homeowners were drawn to into a cohesive, harmonious design. Striking the right balance required a thoughtful approach to ensure every element felt intentional and connected.

























PROJECT RESULTS
Upon entering through the grand entryway with its soaring ceilings, you are welcomed into a sitting area centered around the family’s beloved and daily-used baby grand piano. A custom light fixture, scaled to complement the dramatic height of the space, adds modern elegance, while classic furnishings and bold artwork bring richness and character.
The entry seamlessly flows into the dining room, where we created a library-inspired wall of built-ins, complete with a brass-accented ladder. This multi-functional space serves as the heart of the home—where kids tackle schoolwork, family game nights are enjoyed, and friends gather for celebrations.
In the family room, comfort was the top priority. A custom deep-blue sectional was designed with lazy Sunday naps in mind, while personalized details throughout the space nod to the family’s hobbies and global adventures.
The kitchen received a complete refresh, replacing builder-grade finishes with tailored upgrades: new countertops, custom cabinetry additions, a statement stone range hood, and a striking light fixture commanding attention over the island.
And finally, the powder room became a bold moment of whimsy—showcasing the homeowner’s playful spirit with patterned wallpaper and curated fixtures.
