Greystone Mansion Living Room

The architecture of this room, Living Room, has a striking blend of carved Elizabethan and classical motifs.  The mixture of styles here speaks volumes about the Doheny family’s eclectic tastes.  To accomplish the directive of creating a space that the family would enjoy, if they still lived here today, I looked for an approach that I thought would bridge these diverse influences of the past with an aesthetic of today.  Hollywood Regency, a mid-century style that embraces classical forms with theatrical embellished details, ash seen a resurgence in interior design making it easy to visualize as a theme the present day Doheny’s would embrace.  Traditional Hollywood Regency is restrained to black and white, yet the gold and orange cast of the room’s woodwork, spurred me to flavor up the design with less traditional colors.  By blending eggplant, deep red, and persimmon orange, an analogous color scheme is achieved.  It adds a complexity and vibrancy to the room.

Esquire Networks Rebrand and Pantry

Through the enlightened guidance of the Esquire graphics team, the initial vision had been influenced “ala” Ace Hotel and other not quite steam punk or industrial Whimsy influences.  However, the true genius of the look and feel of the brand came actually from the very need for the network to exist.  It had been determined that a hole in high and masculine style existed within TV networks and cable.  The unique approach to car out this niche was very instrumental in selecting the elements of the design.

At the heart of the Company interior branding was the pantry. Born partly out of necessity to enlarge the current pantry, and the desire for an “opening up” of the space. The opportunity presented itself for the new networks interior branding opportunity.
