This is the latest edition of The inner historyWallpapers series, which focuses on fascinating, innovative and industry -leading interior design.
Los Angeles moans from architecture history, not least in the form of his Spanish resuscitation houses – a style that bloomed in the 20th century. Think of clay tile roofs, white stucco walls, arched doors, exposed wooden beams, carved doors and wrought iron work – everyone is reminiscent of a romanticized vision of early Spanish and Mexican California.
Interior architecture studio OME DEZIN was commissioned to restore such a home – and provided a thoughtful resurrection that captured the nostalgic essence of the 1950s. In cooperation with the content creator Marco Zamora, who is currently renovating his own house in Spanish style, the studio has produced an interior that feels calming, airy and typically European.

The house is located in the historic outpost and honors its architectural roots and accepts a modern design sensitivity. European-Spanish textures of the Old World are increased with contemporary, cleanly lined details.

The palette is a moody laundry of earthy neutral, which calm the nervous system, which is caused by deeply colored forests, terracotta tiles and marble. The warmth of the natural materials gives soul, while flashes made of stainless steel insert a sophisticated voltage.
Each room is layered with a rich, characteristic mix of vintage and modern pieces. Objects of Amsterdam Modern and Ruemmler mix with carpets from Lulu and Georgia and Nordic nodes, which are accentuated by treasures found from local and European flea markets. The general aesthetics are refined and retained, interrupted by exquisite details that show how some thoughtful elements can have a greater influence as a visual surplus.

In true Spanish resuscitation fashion, nature is as integral as the interiors – the style came from a Mediterranean climate, after all, which often contained inner courtyards, terraces and loggias. OME DEZIN expanded the garden with a deck that swims over a canyon and is connected to a hidden outer kitchen that is embedded between lush green and towering trees. Wicking paths lead to hidden corners of the property and finally reveal a meditation hut in the hills with a view that feels transcendent.

Any decision that Omen Dezin has made, from a material to the object selection, reflects a respect for the inheritance with a clear feeling of the eye of the present. Therefore, this house does not chase trends or cling to the past, but takes up a thoughtful middle ground.
