Built on Frank Sinatra’s estate, this custom home was designed to be a fun and relaxing weekend retreat for our clients who live full time in Orange County. As a second home and playing up the mid-century vibe ubiquitous in the desert, we departed from our clients’ more traditional style to create a modern and unique space with the feel of a boutique hotel. Classic mid-century materials were used for the architectural elements and hard surfaces of the home such as walnut flooring and cabinetry, terrazzo stone and straight set brick walls, while the furnishings are a more eclectic take on modern style. We paid homage to “Old Blue Eyes” by hanging a 6’ tall image of his mug shot in the entry.

The intent of this design is to integrate the clients love for Japanese aesthetic, create an open and airy space, and maintain natural elements that evoke a warm inviting environment. A traditional Japanese soaking tub made from Hinoki wood was selected as the focal point of the bathroom. It not only adds visual warmth to the space, but it infuses a cedar aroma into the air. A live-edge wood shelf and custom chiseled wood post are used to frame and define the bathing area. Tile depicting Japanese Shou Sugi Ban (charred wood planks) was chosen as the flooring for the wet areas. A neutral toned tile with fabric texture defines the dry areas in the room. The curb-less shower and floating back lit vanity accentuate the open feel of the space. The organic nature of the handwoven window shade, shoji screen closet doors and antique bathing stool counterbalance the hard surface materials throughout.

Questo bagno presenta un rivestimento della doccia molto particolare raffigurante dei fiori stilizzati che ricordano i tipici disegni Giapponesi. Mobile sospeso color bianco, specchio rotondo retroilluminato e tagli decisi di un color grigio antracite. Il wc è quello tipicamente giapponese con telecomando e pulsantiera per i getti d'acqua. .

The master bathroom includes a sink area, a closed off toilet, and a shower/bathing room. This photo shows both the sink area and a view of the shower/bathing room. The sink cabinet is done in Japanese "tansu" style with hand- forged iron hardware. The sink counter is marbled granite, the drawers are maple, and the floor is madrone.
