Larchmont Jewelers

Los Angeles, California, 2024

Located in the chic Larchmont Village of Los Angeles, once functioned as a bank, a quant white-bricked 2-story Neoclassical storefront received a makeover. The clients, architects and builders set out to preserve the rich historical relevance this building has to its street and community, restore and uphold its elegance, and upgrade the utilities and mechanics to conveniently house contemporary luxury.

 

Extensive planning, and cross-disciplinary discussions among the experts paved the beginning stage of this project. While the project’s permitting and foundational work underwent, we collaborated with each luxury watch brand to create their respective brand corner that aligns with the collective aesthetic.

 

Retro iron-work that were reminisce of the art deco movement is preserved at the front door, a beautiful balance of old-school opulence and modern polishes. The lobby greets patrons with a grand light installation, hundreds of cylindrical pendants suspended at 5 feet high to create a dazzling chandelier. Inside, walnut laminate beams and light grey leather-wrapped columns create a warm, sophisticated atmosphere, complemented by polished stainless steel chandeliers. Each element is thoughtfully designed to enhance your experience as you explore our exquisite collection of timepieces and jewelry, where tradition meets innovation.
