In Cardiff by the Sea, a client's love of yoga shines through in her redesigned home.
Kim Nadel, an interior designer, tackled this 1960s ranch-style home in Cardiff by the Sea, California, after it was renovated an expanded by the architect Caroline Dooley. The client, who had spent many years in the area, was looking to settle in a place that she could call home for years to come.
Nadel set about creating what she describes as "an eclectic home with eco-conscious solutions and a timeless feeling." With her client's love for yoga culture and for the design and lifestyle sensibilities of the 1960s and 1970s as a starting point, Nadel sought to infuse the space with "a contemporary beach-coastal" vibe. The overarching goal, she says, was to craft a space where the resident could relax, practice meditation and yoga, read by the fire, or gaze out at the Pacific Ocean.
