A highly impressive and exhaustive design team lies behind a building and interiors project that was recently completed on Venice Beach in California.
A total of four companies contributed to the project’s completion - architects HMDG, contractor Hamid Irani, the design team at Claudia Afshar Design and interior design and staging company, Dressed Design.
Working together, the four teams managed to create a home that is the very epitome of comfort, design and luxury at the touch of a button. Completed only last Summer and already sold, the project was a brand new build and construction that made the most of the Golden state’s beaches and bright, wide horizon.
LA-based design guru Claudia Afshar, who lists countless celebrities in her list of previous clients, reveals that she was involved in every single aspect of this home’s development,
practically from the sketchbook to completion.
This was a task that encompassed everything from the sourcing of the doors and windows, to the design of the kitchen, then on to that of the bathroom, the choice of floors, the landscaping and every piece of hardware in the home.
All of this was achieved by employing a system of creating a mood board for Dressed Design - the company that was staging the design - at each part of the process.
Also based in LA, Dressed Design made its name as a boutique - and bespoke - interior design company that not only services five star hotels and retail properties, but also offers a service to real estate clients in order to sell homes with increased prices.
The Venice Beach property measures 3,737 square foot in size and includes a numerous amount of rooms including four bedrooms and four bathrooms. As you might expect, the property is finished with vintage decor and classic antiquities throughout, as well as plenty of cutting edge items that keep it reassuringly modern.
Perhaps most impressively there are the reclaimed bespoke steel doors and windows, rescued from Century old mid-western barns, which add a feeling of instant age and heritage to the home. A 180 degree view, glassencased fireplace dominates one room, while the faucets in the bathrooms are of the brushed, modern style, from bathroom supplier Brizo. These rooms also benefit from dual-head steam showers, while in the bedrooms there are two walk in closets.
Throughout, there are custom wall coverings and specially made closets, and the whole home is thoughtfully automated by Creston, so when it comes to lighting, sound, temperature and security, the new owners can be sure they have only the very best.
