Classic mid-century furniture like the Eames lounge chair in Cohen’s bedroom populate the home, a nod to his long life in architecture.

A fluted glass wall lets light from the exterior window shine through. A custom oak vanity sits with Artistic Tile ‘Invisible Blue Marble Mosaic.’ The pendant is by Tracy Glover.

Sugarhouse Design & Architecture lightened up the entry hall, thanks to interior fluted glass panels, white oak floors with a contrasting walnut inlay, and custom oak closets that reach to the ceiling (after removing the fussy tray feature there). The bench is custom-designed by Sugarhouse and fabricated by Elwood Design Co in Orange, CA, and the ceiling light is by Modern Forms.

Teak doors with a teak handle divide the common and private zones.

“Exposing the raw and unfinished forms of granite beings nature directly the [home], offering a tactile connection often absent in urban environments,” says Suphasidh on the stone elements.

The home's colour palette was deliberately light to let the rich tones of the teak wood be the focus.

Lekien designed integrated storage for the primary bedroom.

Sliding glass doors connect the bedrooms to city views.

The shower and toilet are tucked in their own enclosures, so the doors can be left open to frame the custom vanity, which was designed to have the same wood tones as the screen but not compete. The flooring is Tappeti Green Blend Mosaic from Artistic Tile.

In their son's closet, painting the casework bright colors helped bring character and life to the space.

In the kitchen, designers Alfie Koetter and Luke Studebaker worked with woodworker Aaron Hauser of Mason Haus to create custom new millwork inspired by the look and feel of the original cabinetry. Hauser sourced sequence matched natural birch that was rotary cut to create the cabinets.

A small home office, also overlooking the pool and patio, was built just beyond the kitchen, with the same Villa Lagoon concrete tile flooring. The custom desk is paired with a vintage Kartell red Chair and a Ferm Living Ark dining chair.

The new den's rebuilt fireplace is clad with the same Heath Ceramics tile as the kitchen island. Avove it is a Christopher Wrobleski rope hanging. A vintage Hans Wegner chair with Maharam leather cushions was paired with a Lawson Fenning San Rafael Paolo coffee table.

The kitchen and den exist as one continuous space, with one side of the kitchen providing added oak bookshelves for the den. A tomato-red post's color was inspired by flax plants outside.

Greenery is central to the apartment's wellness-minded design and helps to brighten up the interiors. The linens are from Ikea, the side tables are from JYSK, and the lamps are from Action.

A stripe of tomato-colored paint (mixed from two shades of red) sets the energizing mood that Malak envisioned for the bedroom, which is made up of mostly Ikea and secondhand furniture. A wall of cabinetry to the right clears up the rest of the space for unobstructed movement.

The living area is full of rich texture and color, courtesy of rugs and textiles from Casa plus a couch from Bedden Briljant.
