This Mediterranean stucco built in the 1920s needed an entryway update. The floors were travertine tile, the space had heavy and ornate corbels, and the banister was wrapped in red velvet. The design team wanted to stay true to the architecture of the space while streamlining the look and incorporating a black-and-white palette. The foyer sets the tone for the space and is the glue for the overall design. The team also worked on the home’s living spaces and kept the edgy black-and-white theme to underscore the drama and keep the design cohesive through- out the residence.

Designed for a man originally from Texas, this home office design started with the dramatic 6-foot- wide photograph of an Icelandic horse by Guadalupe Laiz. The photograph’s white background pops off the dark charcoal wall painted with Benjamin Moore’s Deep Space.
The designer included lounge seating, so the own- er wasn’t confined to his desk all day. The caramel velvet sofa and leather swivel chairs are the perfect escape. The desk is custom-made from a solid piece of black walnut and includes outlets to plug in devices. The coffee table is made from one piece of reclaimed wood, and the light is custom-sized for the room with black steel, brass, and white glass globes. “It remind- ed me of a modern version of something you’d see
in a saloon in the Old West,” says designer Melissa London. Throughout the design, she used masculine finishes like leather, steel, brass, and wood to keep with the theme.
