A $35M Bel Air estate renovated top to bottom under one creative direction by interior designer Joelle Uzyel. Architecture, interiors, and construction resolved inside a single studio.
A full renovation, taken to the studs. The house was rebuilt darker and quieter than it started.
A complete renovation is where a design-build studio earns its keep. Walls moved. Ceilings changed. The paneling in the primary suite was carved and set at the structural level, before a single piece of furniture arrived. That is the difference between building a mood and decorating one.
The palette runs dark and disciplined. Italian marble against dark wood in the kitchen. A black stone table anchoring the dining room. Velvet and a marble fireplace in the sitting room. Heavy materials, handled with restraint.
One studio held the whole thing. No handoffs. No gap between what was imagined and what got built.
