Here's a teeny little step back into the past for today's post. Completed in 2007, but by no means any less inspiring today, this West Hollywood home was revamped by Clive Wilkinson Architects. Designed for the personal use of the Clive Wilkinson, the architect himself, the house is a relish of fabulous tangerine accents and warm wood finishes. And what fabulous exploitation of the colour wheel rules! The touches of the spectrum of blues used to set-off the contrasting oranges is so refreshing.
What I giddily get lost in, and what is probably my favourite element, is the mixture of old-school Hollywood elegance with a completely modern approach to the execution. I love the fabulous low furniture with its bold colours nodding to the 70's, and the simple, floating wide steps merging the exterior with the interior ever so seamlessly.
There is a Clockwork Orange feel to the hexagonal, bright coloured shapes which, adorned with little creatures, add speckles of colour bursts to the space. Although, unlike A Clockwork Orange, the feeling I get from this interior is not laced with crazy uncertainty and mystery, but rather of an incredibly delectable and welcoming space perfectly nuzzled in the Hollywood Hills.
