Some of our favorite corners of the Cliff May Residence.

Our goal was to bring new life and function to the home while celebrating its original architecture. Thoughtful material transitions, integrated storage, and warm finishes complement the home's structural rhythm and the natural light flooding each room.

A balance of old and new, designed for modern living without losing what made the home special.

The Cliff May Residence at dusk 🌗

As daylight fades, the home takes on a different character. There’s something special about a home that feels completely open to the outdoors, yet entirely private.

The courtyard garden is at the heart of it all, creating a quiet retreat from the street while allowing everyday life to unfold around it. As the interiors begin to glow, the connection between the home and garden becomes even more apparent.

A little world of its own, tucked away in Long Beach.

A closer look at the details of our Cliff May Residence.

From the exposed roof framing to the original concrete floors uncovered beneath years of renovations, every new detail was thoughtfully considered in relation to the home’s architectural history.

Imagine walking into a home where everything has its place. Thoughtfully integrated storage keeps everyday belongings tucked away, while the kitchen’s functionality is concealed within a series of artful, gallery-like spaces.

Our goal was to create a home that feels serene and effortless, yet works incredibly hard behind the scenes. A balance of simplicity, beauty, and everyday function.

So excited to finally share our Shipway Residence, beautifully captured by Open Space !

Completed a few years ago, this project has been a long time coming and we’re thrilled to share the story behind its transformation.

Our clients came to us after purchasing an original Cliff May home in Long Beach. Years of renovations had left the home in disrepair, obscuring much of its original architectural character.

Our approach was to peel back the unnecessary layers and celebrate the home’s architectural bones. We brought its original modularity, structural rhythm, and glazing patterns back into focus, while introducing a fresh material palette through our Venn Studio design lens. The spaces were thoughtfully reimagined to support the everyday needs of a young family without losing the spirit of the original architecture.

At the Ramos Residence, the open floor plan was designed around the family’s love of entertaining. Large pocketing sliding doors dissolve the boundaries between indoors and out, allowing gatherings to flow naturally from one space to the next.

But how do you create a sense of intimacy and definition within an open floor plan?

Through thoughtful architectural and interior elements, we created distinct spaces without sacrificing openness and sightlines through the home. A built-in bookshelf subtly separates the kitchen and living room, while a stone-clad fireplace and media wall anchor the main gathering space.

These features also bring together the home’s material palette. Natural split-face stone, warm walnut millwork, and stone countertops with textured movement.

The Primary Bathroom at the Keogh Residence

Equal parts design vision, problem-solving, and obsessive attention to detail.

Behind the simplicity of the finished space were several rounds of detailed interiors coordination, refining the relationship between fixtures, finishes, dimensions, and architectural features.

A critical part of the process was reviewing the tile and stone shop drawings, carefully mapping natural stone veining and aligning material transitions, grout lines, and edges so each surface connects intentionally to the next. All of this was coordinated alongside structural walls, openings to adjacent spaces, windows, skylights, plumbing, and light fixtures long before installation began.

The result is a space where every material and detail feels intentional.

Swipe to see how it all came together.

Set among the trees of Laurel Canyon, the Stanley Hills Residence connects to its surroundings through more than just expansive windows and views. We wanted that relationship with nature to continue through the materials used to construct the kitchen itself, from solid Douglas fir cabinetry and naturally occurring stone slabs to handmade tile, where variations and imperfections are embraced as part of the material.

That approach extends into the detailing, with custom wood handles crafted to match the cabinetry and appliances concealed behind integrated panels. The result is a kitchen shaped by natural materials and careful craftsmanship, bringing the character of the surrounding landscape into the home.

One of the opportunities of designing in California is finding ways for the our homes to extend beyond its walls.

At the Keogh Residence, we wanted the covered veranda to function as another room of the house, giving the family a comfortable place to dine, entertain, and spend time outside. Making that experience possible meant solving for privacy from the neighboring park, integrating an ADU and garage below the deck, and carefully connecting the veranda back to the kitchen and dining spaces with a hidden pocket door.

It's a good example of what much of our work looks like behind the finished space: understanding how the clients want to live, navigating the constraints of the property, and coordinating the many details in construction needed to bring the two together.

Some of our favorite architectural details getting realized at the Walker Residence.

The house has evolved through countless rounds of drawings, selections, coordination, and decisions both large and incredibly small. The kitchen cabinetry and countertops, bathroom details, and main staircase are just a few of the areas where that process becomes visible in the finished work.

None of it happens in isolation. Bringing these details together requires constant coordination between everyone involved, from the design team and fabricators to the trades working through each condition in the field. We’re grateful to and the entire construction team for their collaboration and attention throughout the process as the project moves through its final stages.

Thank you to our incredible clients who trusted in the design process and pushed the team to execute their dream home.

A design study for a two-story ADU supporting both living and work on a hillside lot in Highland Park.

For our client, a creative photographer with a young, active family, the challenge was to fit multiple ways of living into a compact footprint while responding thoughtfully to a difficult site. The two-story design includes two bedrooms, with one able to function as an office, giving the family flexibility as their needs shift between work and everyday life. The hillside setting became an opportunity to create a distinct architectural identity, embracing the surrounding landscape and the feeling of a secluded garden retreat.

For us, the value of designing an ADU lies in looking beyond the additional square footage. It means understanding the client, working through the constraints of the property, and finding opportunities within both to create something distinctly suited to how they live.
