A traditional town home in a multi-unit development is transformed into a Zen-like Japanese style retreat in Bel Air - a minimal cozy sanctuary amidst the hustle-bustle of daily life in Los Angeles. City and canyon views offer perspective as the Japanese garden, integral to the public spaces, transports one to distant places. Meticulously selected materials maintain the theme: variable plank walnut hardwood flooring, zebra wood cabinets with black granite countertops, shoji screen pocket doors, noir stained fir interior trim, and stone tile bathroom flooring.
