""There's this notion, especially by people from other places, that Los Angeles doesn't have any history," explains Peter Harper. He emphasizes the importance of showcasing the essence of the city through their design choices."
"The couple approached their home with a studied intention to showcase the essence of their adopted city and their preference for classical riffs on modern living."
"They also wanted to honor the matriarch whose family they bought the house from, a stalwart preservationist named Patricia Adler-Ingram, who left behind a terraced garden replete with old oaks, a vineyard, and climbing white roses."
"The decision to purchase the house was a surprise, especially since they were already deep in the process of building their own contemporary home."
Michael Breland and Peter Harper, designers and partners, updated a Mediterranean Revival home in Los Angeles, emphasizing its historical significance. They aimed to reflect their love for classical design while respecting the legacy of the previous owner, Patricia Adler-Ingram, a dedicated preservationist. The couple's design choices highlight the home's natural light and romantic ambiance, integrating elements like a terraced garden and classic architectural features. Their approach balances modern living with a deep appreciation for the history and character of the property.
