A Midcentury Transitional Oasis in Southern California

Originally a 1970s California ranch style residence, the homeowners brought on Helena Brana of BRANA Designs to transform the dated space into a modern oasis, perfect for the way we live today. Brana brought her signature European flair to the project, maximizing the existing footprint while highlighting the existing architectural elevations that lended themselves naturally to a mid-century modern yet transitional aesthetic. At the heart of the home sits the conversational living space, which blends seamlessly into the backyard. By designing this truly open and airy concept, Helena ensured this home was made for both entertaining and daily function, capitalizing on the indoor/outdoor lifestyle for which California is known.
