MONUMENT HOUSE
Scope of Work: Architectural Design / Interior Design
What was your inspiration for this project?
I had the privilege of working with some pretty amazing clients that put their full trust in us to completely design their home. The only inspiration for their new build was a previous project my boss had designed right next door called the “Belle Canyon House”. Since I never want to design the same house twice, I decided to add a mid century twist to this desert modern home.
What was your greatest challenge?
The staircase in this house offers some pretty amazing sunlight that my client really wanted to capture in the living room. They requested I open up a load bearing wall in the living room from the staircase. Since we could not fully take out the wall, we had to work around a beam that was holding up the second floor. So how can I make a small opening look cool and also meet code? I definitely didn't want to just slap up some railing and call it good so I had to get creative! Low and behold the wood feature was born!
What were you most proud of / excited about?
The staircase wall feature! The process of new builds seems so surreal. As a creative, I imagine what spaces will look like and stress about how they will actually turn out but wow I are so happy with this finished design!
