I’ll let the designer describe the approach to this fabulous Beverly Hills home.

“For this archetypal 1920s Spanish-style house in Beverly Hills, we conjured a relaxed, youthful atmosphere in opposition to the formality of many nearby homes. Painting the living room’s beamed ceiling white significantly altered the space’s complexion, providing a luminous backdrop for texture-rich furnishings. A low-slung yellow velvet Mario Bellini sofa sits on a Moroccan carpet laid wall to wall, while a built-in banquette boasts multicolored Majorcan ikats. The kitchen’s wallpaper is by artist Alviro Barrington — part of a collection of contemporary art with works by Laura Owens, Tracey Emin, Richard Prince, and Josh Smith. The result: an unpretentious environment in sync with the rhythms and rituals of contemporary life.”

“Great architecture and interior design is always site-responsive and client-specific. It reflects and amplifies the character and attributes of its place, and of its owners. It is progressive and ambitious yet timeless.”

The old apartment was pokey and ignored the view. The new apartment is streamlined, light-filled and drinks in the sea that goes on forever. Add clever storage and hidden doors and it’s just about perfect contemporary living. Clovelly Apartment by Sydney-based James Garvan Architecture.
