Project description
A lovely Mediterranean home located in the flourishing community of Manhattan Beach, California received a significant renovation by designer, Mandy Graham.
The original living quarters were reappointed entirely, creating a renewed dynamic that radiates light and space. The existing windows and central fireplace of the former living room allowed the creation of a new perspective. Graham chose this location for the chef’s kitchen and adjoining dining area. The designer prescribed the same attention to detail within the construction of the bespoke cabinetry as she does throughout the home.
The execution of details brought together with plaster, travertine and rustic wood are a testament to the designer's modern sensibility. Graham embraces traditional architecture and affirms such framework with the modification of thick walls, arches and reclaimed beams. Many of the home's furnishings are a nod to the designer's furniture collections which stand in contrast to that of the traditional art and antiques.
