Despite its modest footprint, this hillside home has long attracted creative inhabitants. Mariah’s goal was to extend the heart of the house outward, shaping an outdoor lounge and dining area with room for friends, family, and everyday gathering. The result is a home that feels generous and welcoming, casual in spirit and well suited for a growing family.

Inside, original woodwork and gridded windows provide a strong architectural foundation. Mariah introduces softness and character through layered textiles, sculptural lighting, and art that brings a modern, bohemian energy to the rooms. The palette feels intentional and personal, flowing from the inviting living room to the artful dining space. Outside, a simple deck and built-in bench frame sweeping views of the Silver Lake Reservoir, creating space for everyone to gather.
