Welcome to La Serena — a quiet urban jungle oasis designed for slow mornings, cozy evenings, and reconnecting with thoughtful design. In an area full of rentals, we wanted it to feel like a true escape. To preserve character and reduce intervention, we worked with existing tiles, beams, columns, and electrical placements, designing custom solutions that enhance the space. Built-ins like a hidden-storage TV unit, recessed shelving, sliding slatted doors, and a custom headboard shelf keep the studio open, functional, and serene.
