Let\u2019s take a look at this incredible 1960s Los Angeles home<\/strong> with a mid-century modern style<\/span><\/em><\/strong> inspiration that is simply stunning!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat I love most, is that the home doesn\u2019t feel like a gallery,\u201d Dan shares. \u201cWe never decided to make a particular wall behave in a certain manner, and because nothing was specifically planned out, this allowed Amy to have the best of both worlds.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n \"mid-century<\/a>\n\n\n\n

Since the existing home<\/a><\/strong> was already a fully formed architectural expression, the team studied the original structure carefully. In the end, the focus became honoring what was there, while also combining DBA\u2019s distinct design<\/a><\/strong> language alongside Amy\u2019s unique point of view.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u200b\u200bI loved how the home had these inner atriums,\u201d explains designer-architect<\/a><\/strong> Dan Brunn of the house of craft-influencer Amy Tangerine. \u201cIt set it apart from so many other homes, and I was intrigued with how to best capture that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amy loves how Dan designed the kitchen<\/a><\/strong> and created a separate walk-in pantry. \u201cI also love it because it\u2019s a space where my husband\u2014who does most of the cooking\u2014really enjoys being in,\u201d Amy shares.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n \"mid-century<\/a>\n\n\n\n

\"mid-century<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Some of the other materials were purposefully period correct. \u201cWe sourced wood veneer for the kitchen<\/a><\/strong>, which you\u2019d find in a period home; however, the creative interpretation is more clearly modern<\/a><\/strong>,\u201d Dan explains. \u201cThe detailing for all plumbing throughout the house is done in a modern matte brass as well.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"mid-century<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The bar proved to be another area in which the design team<\/a><\/strong> was able to flex their creative muscles. \u201cAt the wet bar, we had a lot of fun with a company I work with often\u2014Concrete Collaborative,\u201d he says. \u201cWe sourced these really geometric concrete tiles for the backsplash, which add a nice midcentury<\/a><\/strong> nod to the space.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n \"mid-century<\/a>\n\n\n\n

\"mid-century<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe wanted to be mindful and intentional about our interiors and how we wanted to feel in them,\u201d Amy explains. \u201cStriving to create a sanctuary to embody the art of truly living was a priority.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Minimalism, texture, and effortless style take the lead in the primary bedroom<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe pool turned out better than I could have ever imagined,\u201d Dan notes. \u201cWe had always planned for the pool location and shape, but once it was filled with water, it surpassed expectations\u2014while you can dream up reflections, they are just never as wonderful as they are when they come to life.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
