"Our master bedroom. It is our quiet place that feels so serene and peaceful. And with the connected outdoor space and the fireplace, it feels like its own oasis above Abbot Kinney. Throughout the day, the sunlight hits the room in all these beautiful ways through the wall of windows - and at night, the moon shines in."
"What I love about the room is that the only piece of furniture on the ground is the bed. Everything else is built-in, which makes the space feel so pure and uncluttered. Even the electrical outlets and the TV are hidden inside the built-ins so you can literally unplug."
"The paintings are by one of my favorite artists, Ethiopian-born Julie Mehretu, and the lighting is by Ray Azoulay's Obsolete gallery. He was a good friend of the previous owner and our neighbor when we moved in, so we were lucky to inherit these unique 'upside-down ceramic bowl' lights."
Ara Katz, co-founder of shopping app Spring, resides in a live-and-work space on Abbot Kinney Boulevard in Venice designed by architect Michael Sant. Her master bedroom serves as a personal sanctuary featuring minimalist design principles with only the bed as ground-level furniture; all other elements are built-in to create an uncluttered aesthetic. The room benefits from abundant natural light through expansive windows and ocean breezes. Curated art by Ethiopian-born artist Julie Mehretu and custom ceramic bowl lighting by Ray Azoulay enhance the space. The design philosophy emphasizes the ability to disconnect from technology and the bustling street life below, providing essential respite for Katz and her family.
