This 1954 A. Quincy Jones house perfectly conveys the inimitable indoor-outdoor feel of California modernism, with its enormous walls of glass, tongue-and-groove vaulted ceilings, and dramatic angles of the gabled roof line. Like a brilliantly designed treehouse, there’s an ambient feeling of co-existing within the property’s ancient oak and sycamore trees and the home’s openness elicits an inexplicably magical calm. Our goal was honoring the ingenious Jones architecture and revering that wonderful, magical calm while bringing depth to its commodious white spaces. Plush and patterned rugs, indigo, cinnamon, teal, carmine, and forest green upholstery and textiles, a mix of vintage and custom furniture, striking photography, low-slung sofas - all chosen with a sense of each piece’s unique qualities and how it relates to the architecture itself. The media room conversion is like a modern-day sunken conversation pit, only decidedly moodier, sexier, and sophisticated. Jones was known for his desire to bring about “better living,” and this Pacific Palisades modernist haven is all about it.
