Nina Takesh Designs have been Shortlisted for Luxury Residence – California Award in The International Design and Architecture Awards 2022.

This Helena Street property by Nina Takesh Designs is a contemporary, Mediterranean-style, 12,000-square-feet home located in the suburbs of Brentwood, California, on a gorgeous, tree-lined street. The house is modern with classical elements and represents an era when raw materials like onyx, marble, and unlacquered brass were part and parcel of design. The look – expansive 20-foot ceilings and architectural soffits – is luxury at its core with a California aesthetic.

A baby grand piano sits in the corner near a bespoke walnut round table displaying decorative objects. The grand, double sided living room is adorned with a floor-to-ceiling, double-sided marble fireplace encircled by custom pieces. It is laid out to create two distinct spaces where the styles are different yet complementary. On one side, where the family relaxes, there is a custom channeled sofa, reminiscent of pieces made by Giuseppe Munari, along with a glass and walnut coffee table where the feet are set as if randomly, with one foot protruding through the actual glass.

On the opposite side, you will find a curved sofa with a round, made-to-measure bleached white oak coffee table along with an architectural bench and lilac velvet club chairs. A bar of beautiful onyx marble also graces this great room along with bespoke Nina Takesh bar stools upholstered in an ivory boucle.

The kitchen is classic in nature, with modern touches, such as a leather-finished marble countertop, and white satin finish cabinets, whilst plattner chairs can be seen in the eating area of the kitchen around a Minotti warm wood dining table.
