When Sean, cofounder of LVRN Records, started searching for a home in Los Angeles, he knew exactly what he was—and wasn’t—looking for. Having grown up in a Craftsman house in Atlanta, he was set on finding a midcentury with warmth and character rather than a minimalist box. “I wanted a house with a soul of its own,” seanfamoso says. When he put in a bid for a 2,022-square-foot 1950 home, he initially lost out to another buyer. But as luck would have it, the two-bedroom, three-bathroom house went back on the market almost immediately—albeit for an additional $200K. Charmed by its floor-to-ceiling views of the city, Sean swooped in to close the deal. For structural changes, he commissioned Christopher Cahill of CASC Design Inc to knock out the wall between the kitchen and dining room, but he left the original layout largely intact. “My biggest pet peeve is when people find the most beautiful home and modernize it beyond belief,” Sean explains. To sensitively update the interiors while capturing a sense of his personality and lifestyle, Sean reached out to tyalves and taryn.echeverry of thecurator_la. The designers leaned heavily into natural, layered textures to create a sense of intimacy within the open plan. With the project now complete, Sean finds that his days move according to the sun’s path through the house, starting with a lie by the pool in the gentle, early morning light. From there, he says, “you chase the light as the day goes on,” migrating from room to room. See inside the home at the link in our bio, or in our new issue, out now.
