The incredible influence of modern day interior design trends has resulted in a refreshing wave of innovative, yet traditional custom homes throughout the Los Angeles area.

Quintessential markers like matte-black hardware, wide-plank oak flooring, and a perfect mix of organic materials and textiles, make the modern farmhouse an inviting space for any family. When designing the custom aquarium for the dining area, it was critical that we incorporated the same attitude in our aqua scape in order to create an element that was totally cohesive with the aesthetic, effort, and detail put forth in creating this beautiful Valley Farmhouse.
