"It's close to the ocean, so there is a light breeze. It's a perfect scenario.""
"When it came to material choices, the design team sought to reinforce the laid-back vibe, opting for humble European beech, quartz, Douglas fir plywood, and recycled plastics-all applied in a high-design manner. "This was a study on how far we can push these different materials," says Kakhsaz. Next, they layered iconic modernist pieces, bespoke Studio MUKA furniture, and contemporary art to reflect Quinn and Wright's personal styles and histories."
Tom Quinn and Celeste Wright purchased a 1950s hodgepodge house on Los Angeles's Westside for its potential to connect interior spaces with the backyard. Designers Zabie Mustafa and Neda Kakhsaz of Studio MUKA reconfigured the patchwork house into an open-floor plan that flows through to the patio and added rear garage doors to blur the indoor-outdoor boundary. The team selected humble materials — European beech, quartz, Douglas fir plywood, and recycled plastics — applied in high-design ways. They layered iconic modernist pieces, bespoke Studio MUKA furniture, and contemporary art to reflect the homeowners' styles. A custom walnut dining table accommodates frequent entertaining.
