In the spring of 2024, I started working on this Palisades home on the beloved Alphabet Streets. Our clients wanted a home that reflected their personal style – cool, chic, understated – for their two young girls and the giant Barbie houses and toys that come with that age.
As the project neared completion, the home tragically burned down in the 2025 Pacific Palisades fire. Our clients were lucky and able to find a new house in LA’s Cheviot Hills neighborhood, but it required work to the house itself and then including elements from the old design as best as we could.
The house was not an easy one to fill quickly since we had to buy basic necessities like silverware, towels and sheets first, but I know they have the bones and the base to fill it anew with the books, the records and art that will make it feel like home.
