FEATURED PROJECTS
A client, after selling their old house, moved into a traditional house in San Clemente with a budget for furnishing key rooms. The challenge was selecting pieces that fit both their temporary home and their future one, considering the interior's aesthetics. We successfully chose furniture that harmonized with both settings, creating spaces that seamlessly flow together, prepared for an easy transition to their next residence.
Smaller homes are a solution for the future. The biggest challenge is to utilize the space in the best way possible. Thinking about every corner. This 1,148 Sq Ft. townhouse was fully decorated and 80% of all objects and furniture were previously owned. Some were repainted others were refurbished.
The backyard area is absolutely stunning with an contemporary feel. It boasts a shaped swimming pool that seamlessly blends in with a spa all surrounded by charming stone walls. There are seating areas available such as a cozy lounge covered by a pergola and a gathering spot centered around a fire pit. These spaces provide comfort and flexibility for relaxation and socializing. Additionally there's a kitchen and bar that are perfect for hosting get togethers.
“The main goal now is to combine my work experience and passion to deliver a creative sustainable design to a vast audience helping to reduce our footprint as humankind, but also bring joy and flow state of mind to my clients.”
