An extensive remodel in Los Angeles\u2019 Mar Vista neighborhood was an opportunity for Kim to develop a visual impact that conveyed the essence of her client\u2019s personality. Otherworldly luxe and a sacred connection to nature became the themes of this warm and restorative suite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Using antique pieces sourced in Bali and custom-designed Moroccan furniture, Kim created a space that feels rooted in the past, aspirational and thoroughly of the moment. It almost magically draws one in, as if stepping into another universe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Achieving this inviting effect involved an engineering puzzle: Two heavy beams over the center of the primary bedroom felt stagnant and stifling. Kim removed the beams to create a haven of space and light that greets the visitor at the top of the stairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To promote health and well-being, Kim designed key elements, such as lighting and noise control, to promote deep sleep and lower stress levels. By adding a balcony overlooking the pool, her client enjoys a far-sighted yet soothing ocean view. This fills the room with nautical breezes and makes the room a sanctuary where nature surrounds and heals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Through careful decorative decisions, a space that was previously dark and choppy gained an ethereal feel. The room was wrapped in a light palette of color and layered in sumptuous, touchable textures to make its occupant feel utterly nurtured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The tiny bathroom was barely large enough for the cramped and dark shower.Utilizing feng shui, Kim added a skylight to maximize the spatial perspective. One wall was opened up on a diagonal to allow a more pleasing flow to the floorplan. For this oasis of self-care, almost every finishing material was sustainably sourced and selected for its nature-mimicking look and feel, amplifying the rejuvenating effect.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":299604,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_yoast_wpseo_focuskw":"Bespoke design","_yoast_wpseo_title":"%%title%% %%page%%","_yoast_wpseo_metadesc":"An extensive remodel in Los Angeles\u2019 Mar Vista neighborhood was an opportunity for Kim to develop a visual impact that conveyed the essence of her client\u2019s personality.","_yoast_wpseo_linkdex":"62","_yoast_wpseo_content_score":"60","content-type":"","_yoast_wpseo_focuskeywords":"[]","_yoast_wpseo_keywordsynonyms":"[\"\"]","_yoast_wpseo_primary_category":null,"_yoast_wpseo_estimated-reading-time-minutes":"2"},"hoog_category":[18],"class_list":["post-299575","hoog_project","type-hoog_project","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","hoog_category-bedroom"],"acf":{"hoog_project_owner":299522,"hoog_contributors":null,"hoog_project_badge":"","hoog_featured_project":false,"hoog_project_video":"","hoog_project_photos":[{"image_file":299576,"video_id":"","image_size":"half"},{"image_file":299582,"video_id":"","image_size":"half"},{"image_file":299588,"video_id":"","image_size":"half"},{"image_file":299591,"video_id":"","image_size":"half"},{"image_file":299594,"video_id":"","image_size":"half"},{"image_file":299603,"video_id":"","image_size":"half"},{"image_file":299597,"video_id":"","image_size":"full"},{"image_file":299600,"video_id":"","image_size":"full"}]},"yoast_head":"\n
