Dining Room • 3110 Benedict Canyon Dr, Beverly Hills, CA 90210
Large concrete panels clad the fireplace wall. They show coarse, untreated surfaces. A thick, raw-sawn timber table sits central. Its polished steel legs offer a sleek counterpoint.
Unlined raw linen drapes filter light directly. Polished stainless steel art reflects these rough textures. Seating combines heavy steel frames with soft wool. A monumental metal fixture provides light.
This room showcases materials in their truest, most contrasting forms.
Design Philosophy
This design amplifies inherent material qualities. It presents raw textures against polished finishes. The framework of Tactile Dialogue guides material choices. Juxtaposed Finishes create visual and tactile intensity.
Spatial Narrative
Your eye first lands on the brutalist concrete fireplace wall. You walk towards the heavy timber table. You sit, feeling the cool steel frame and soft wool upholstery.
Light Study
Morning light filters softly through the raw linen drapes. It highlights the timber's grain and concrete's texture. Evening light casts deep shadows, making polished steel glint.
Living Vignette
A hand traces the rough surface of the concrete wall. Laughter echoes off the polished steel art pieces.
Material Palette
Untreated concrete panels: The surface feels rough and cool. It gains a natural patina over time.
Raw-sawn timber slab: Its deeply textured surface shows natural imperfections. It ages gracefully, deepening in color.
Polished stainless steel: The mirror-like finish feels smooth and cool. It maintains its luster indefinitely.
