{Jason Maine renovated this private home in Los Angeles. Liking the relaxed, transitional style in the spaces… and yet it still has some Hollywood glam injected.} While their last few houses were mostly traditional in style, Giannulli (the client) was craving a departure. On his travels in Europe, he had noticed a trend of updating historic spaces with contemporary elements. He wanted to take a similar approach with the villa. “The bones of the home were so incredible,” he says. “I wanted to put it back together, peel it back, and create a more modern edge.” By all accounts, the design process was as collaborative as it was creative. The home’s Mediterranean-style architecture was restored and burnished with such luxurious details as white plaster walls and polished black marble floors. The domed entry was transformed into a minimalist showpiece where a Jeff Zimmerman vine light sculpture spirals from an overhead skylight, mimicking the form of the rolled-steel-and-glass staircase. In the otherwise neutral living room, a Jean-Michel Frank chair stands out in its petrol-blue upholstery, which the Maines hunted down after seeing a Giambattista Valli dress in the same striking shade. “It’s not a flashy house,” Jason says. “It feels rich and beautiful. Luxury is in the details.”Meanwhile, the house more than doubled in size. A breezeway with scalloped-wood walls and pocket doors opens onto the garden and connects to the home’s new kitchen and family room: The modernist space has the feel of a vintage industrial loft, with polished concrete floors and factory-style iron windows, whose graphic lines are softened by the outside view of a shaggy olive tree. “The design feels like today to me,” Giannulli says. “It just feels right.” -- source link
