The Sapphire had solid bones and needed a lot of work. We took it from close of escrow all the way to its first guests: a full rehab, project management, every renovation detail, furnishings, setup and styling until it was photo ready and guest ready.

We reworked the layout like a Tetris puzzle to add a second living room, an outdoor living space, a primary suite and a full bathroom, and to extend the kitchen. Then we layered in our SoCal lux style, with every finish chosen for durability, impact and return.
