Conrad Architects designed a beautiful family in Los Angeles residence, which it was a merging of traditional and contemporary values. The contemporary and minimal aesthetic is balanced with traditional influences to achieve a rich and warm interior that portrays a restrained luxury. The residence exhibits a sense of calm and retreat, achieved through the timeless aesthetic, controlled design, and careful selection of materials based upon their environmental and wellness qualities.
The studio held fast to its design philosophy grounded in the importance of historical precedent, natural light, connection to the landscape, and materials that become more beautiful with time. The materials they used were a mix of polished plaster walls, soap finished wood floors, and dramatic marble detail. As the architects said: “This residence demonstrates how restraint and richness in design can exist together. Achieved through a purely contemporary aesthetic, but one viewed through the lens of the classical tradition.”
