Salon by Malone
Once she noted the carved-wood door and arched stained glass window, Malone Detro knew the house’s one-time walk-in closet and mailroom had great potential. So she rounded up her family of tradespeople to assist in executing an escape—“somewhere you could go during a busy dinner party to catch a private moment,” she says. Her brother-in-law, a general contractor, stained and finished the cabinetry; her brother, who runs Potaito Fine Furniture, designed and built the sycamore bar stools; and her soon-to-retire carpenter father built the undulating walnut shelves. The Patagonia granite bar “[acts] as the glue between old and new,” Detro says. “The shelves lay directly in front of that window, breathing new life into the space and creating a function for it that was not there before.”
Family room by DLC-ID
Transforming a large octagonal hallway into a multipurpose family room was certainly a challenge for DLC-ID, but owner and principal Jon de la Cruz maximized the shape by choosing “a calm, restrained color palette to further enhance the natural light and shadow,” he says. Pale, limewashed walls pull from the home’s neighboring terra-cotta roofs, while stone, gilded bronze, plush velvet, knotted wood, and lacquered parchment add rich layers. De la Cruz’s myriad custom furnishings mingle with a hand-knotted, Empire-style chandelier made in Mexico, Danish armchairs from the ’70s, and a Carrara marble dining table by Angelo Mangiarotti for Agapecasa.
Primary bedroom, closet, and bathroom suite by Tineke Triggs
Spanning a bedroom, dressing room, and bathroom, the primary suite aims to “strike a harmonious balance between light and dark, demure and bold,” says Tineke Triggs. As an ode to the vitality of gemstones, the bedroom unites a custom upholstered Una Malan bed, MJ Atelier wallpaper, and Marzio Cecchi lounge chairs with custom Tracy Glover Studio sconces, a rug designed by Triggs, and a decorative ceiling mural by Caroline Lizarraga. A mix of custom Go Build Studio vanities, stone slabs from Da Vinci marble, and Triggs’ own tiles in the bathroom “serve as the sultry counterpart to the bedroom,” she adds.
