VINTAGE CABIN
A very unique Topanga cabin retreat. Formerly a leased ADU, the owners had us convert it to a short term rental while aiming for a minimal carbon footprint.
We outfitted the entire cabin: platform bed, retro/vintage furniture, rugs, patio set, couch, vintage bar set, and more for an incredibly low cost by — focusing on sustainability + sourcing as many items as possible from architectural salvage, estate sales, thrift shops...
This pragmatic approach is not only beautiful and bespoke, but ELEVATES your BOTTOM LINE!
ADU FARMHOUSE
From no bookings to nearly booked-solid each month.... a small two "room" ADU studio. UPCYCLED & DESIGNED to be a short term rental while focusing on a minimal Carbon Footprint.
We furnished the entire studio: sheets, platform bed, custom headboard, bistro table, golden flatware, plants, artwork, outdoor furniture, et cetera for an incredibly low cost — by focusing on sustainability, and sourcing as many items as possible from architectural salvage + thrift shops.
This pragmatic approach is not only beautiful and bespoke, but INCREASES your PROFITS!

WORK WITH WHATCHA GOT...

DESIGN CONSTRAINTS ARE OPPORTUNITIES

with just seven seconds to try and sway a potential guest, the human mind figures out what it wants fairly quickly.
