In 2014, we were approached by a couple to achieve a dream space within their existing home. They wanted to expand their existing bar, wine, and cigar storage into a new one-of-a-kind room. Proud of their Italian heritage, they also wanted to bring an “old-world” feel into this project to be reminded of the unique character they experienced in Italian cellars. The dramatic tone of the space revolves around the signature piece of the project; a custom milled stone spiral stair that provides access from the first floor to the entry of the room. This stair tower features stone walls, custom iron handrails and spindles, and dry-laid milled stone treads and riser blocks. Once down the staircase, the entry to the cellar is through a French door assembly. The interior of the room is clad with stone veneer on the walls and a brick barrel vault ceiling. The natural stone and brick color bring in the cellar feel the client was looking for, while the rustic alder beams, flooring, and cabinetry help provide warmth. The entry door sequence is repeated along both walls in the room to provide rhythm in each ceiling barrel vault. These French doors also act as wine and cigar storage. To allow for ample cigar storage, a fully custom walk-in humidor was designed opposite the entry doors. The room is controlled by a fully concealed, state-of-the-art HVAC smoke eater system that allows for cigar enjoyment without any odor.

Elegant update to a dated craftsman style bathroom that was full of wallpaper. Now, a warm Casa California style spa bath with some sparkly touches.

Our designers transformed this small hall bathroom into a chic powder room. The bright wallpaper creates grabs your attention and pairs perfectly with the simple quartz countertop and stylish custom vanity. Notice the custom matching shower curtain, a finishing touch that makes this bathroom shine.

A double vanity becomes the focal point of the en suite bathroom. Cambria's countertops rest on top of this rich dark wood vanity that features ample storage and a hidden medium size wastebasket disguised into a stack of drawers.

This guest suite has tall board and batten wainscot that wraps the room and incorporates into the bathroom suite. The color palette was pulled from the exterior trim on the hone and the wood batten is typical of a 30s interior architecture and draftsmen detailing.

The resident of this 1904 classic Montford home has owned it for more than 30 years. Behind the walls and under the floors of the kitchen and bathroom were a myriad problem areas that needed attention. Hanging new cabinets on walls and from ceilings that may have been plumb a hundred years ago is par for the course. Our project manager even fabricated a special switch plate from wood that was required for an awkward spot in the bathroom. LED can lights and hand-blown glass pendants brighten the kitchen. Intricate tile work and massive glass sliding shower doors bring the bathroom up to date.

We had the pleasure of being featured in the Spring 2017 Home issue of Southbay Magazine. Showcased is an addition in south Redondo Beach where the goal was to bring the outdoors in. See the full spread for details on the project and our firm: http://www.oursouthbay.com/custom-design-construction-4/
