A linear and geometric single-story home tucked in the historic neighborhood of Wilshire Square in Los Angeles is a tribute to the designer’s ability to introduce mid-century with a fresh yet timeless perspective. Douglas-fir and Mahogany are the common threads that connect the interior spaces and offer a welcoming atmosphere of elegance and integration. Warmth and comfort are achieved in the bespoke kitchen that Graham identifies as a living space. The sculptural marble island enjoys counter seating from all sides and is enveloped by the wall-to-wall illuminated Douglas-fir built-ins that span the room. The open shelving concept provides optimal storage with customized wood boxes, hanging drawers and lower pull-out trays. Beyond the kitchen, Graham appointed a wood paneled butler’s pantry with integrated refrigeration and ovens. A secondary free-standing sink and dishwasher are a nod to the designer’s furniture collections. Mahogany storage solutions were designed to characterize the home’s mid-century architecture and separate rooms with integrated jambs and thresholds. Douglas-fir paneled bathrooms and custom marble sinks are yet another reminder of the cohesive and articulate design concept. Beyond the architectural key features, noteworthy mid-century furnishings were chosen for their authenticity amidst the client’s carefully curated art collection.
I am always and forever fascinated by Mandy Graham‘s approach to design. Monastic, minimal and unique with incredible attention to detail. Photos: Jasper Carlberg.

We are so excited to showcase The Lake House! A full home renovation of an original Lake House built in the 1970’s. Located in Canyon Lake, CA. We gutted this house, changed the floorplan to be more functional, raised the ceiling in the kitchen, and wrapped the existing beams in veneer. We designed every square foot of this home, from the four bathrooms, to the two kitchens, the design encompases a cohesive color palette, and exquisite materials. The Lake House is playful, yet sophisticated, with a nod to the original 70’s architecture and vibe.
This home definitively has some mid-century still kicking around but more modern vibes added with this new revival. It is funky, bright and playful and I could not love that living room more – the soaring ceilings and knotty pine walls and that fantastic free-standing fireplace in the centre. Brilliant!!!

Located in the Little Burgundy district, at the foot of downtown Montreal, this project responds to the clients’ initial request to expand their home so that their large and vibrant family of four children can enjoy a living space at their scale, while guaranteeing each of them an optimally sized bedroom. The project consists of a renovation and expansion of a building that originally consisted of two small houses with mansard roofs built in the late 19th century.
La Shed can really do no wrong. Each of their projects leaves me wanting a modern take on a historic home, which only happens with their work. Also I would consider this firm one of the best at adapting homes to life with young children. LOVE THIS. Photos: Maxime Brouillet.

Littlewood Residence, home to GOLDEN co-founder Alicia and her family, is a masterful blend of design and collaboration. The space is both functional and warm with thoughtful details tailored for a young family. Natural materials add depth, while subtle design creates moments of intrigue. The use of colour and warmth is balanced, never overwhelming and intricate craftsmanship enhances the overall quality, reflecting GOLDEN’s signature timeless style and lasting originality.

The clients envisioned a home that blended modernist themes with the original Victorian details of their historic San Francisco property. They collaborated with William Duff Architects for a major remodel and enlisted Niche Interiors for interior design, furnishings and decorative lighting. Herringbone wood floors, traditional panelling and trim contrast with a sleek staircase in the foyer. Niche Interiors selected a modern console table and geometric light fixture, adding contemporary elements to complement the architectural details. A black and white colour scheme prevails throughout the home while oak and leather accents bring warmth to the kitchen, living room and bedroom.
