When our clients found BiXBY, they had a house whose construction was delayed and a design vision that needed more focus and personality. If you were to meet our clients, you’ll know instantaneously that personality is something they are in no short supply of. We immediately set about streamlining construction and execution while applying a look and feel to the Roadrunner House that was as vibrant, interesting, and energetic as our clients are.
The Space
As fervent supporters of the arts, color and confidence are pillars of our clients personalities. We weren’t putting together just a color palette; we were curating moods and emotions. Deep purples, browns, and earth reds in the primary bedroom pay homage to San Jacinto Mountains that buttress the back of the property. Orange Tadelakt plaster in the bathroom is contrasted by a cream and orange terrazzo vanity. An emerald green Oushak rug that was purchased while in India upholsters the bed in one of the guest suites while antique brass monkey nightstands sit whimsically against the Feather Bloom wallpaper.
The feeling
We had wonderfully unique clients whose willingness to understand the “why” behind vision and choice led to a home that perfectly showcases their spirit and character. The result was a home rich in detail, color, and textures. Icelandic white marble with citrus-green veining sits in contrast with Fumed Red Gum cabinetry in the primary suite. A small pony hair stool rests on casters so the clients can sit together on Zoom calls in the office. A custom vanity chair in the primary suite features an integrated swivel mirror, allowing full visibility of the back of the hair while styling for a night out. Every detail and feature was thoughtful because every detail and feature of Roadrunner House was made especially for the clients.
