This 1920s John Byers-designed home in L.A.’s Pacific Palisades was sensitively reimagined by Scott Formby, preserving its architectural character while refreshing the interiors with colour, texture and a refined mix of old and new pieces. Without major structural changes the home was transformed into a highly personal, soulful space. As the clients’ needs evolved, Formby continued to refine the design, creating a layered, expressive environment that reflects how the family now lives within the historic framework.
