With updated architecture to a true European French Villa style, Sunset Plaza Residence has been designed by Smith Firestone Associates, situated high above Sunset Plaza in West Hollywood, Los Angeles, California. The designers revamped the exterior facade, taking the architecture from an odd muddle of classical French and retro 1970’s to a true European French Villa style. They gave the interior an edge of glamor and French flair. Entering through the dramatic, two-story glossy black double doors, the interior space is Hollywood Regency with a classic French flair. Dark wood floors juxtaposed against stark white paneled walls are offset by a transitional color palette of mink brown, classy black, pale dove gray, dusty purples and hints of yellow. The décor is an eclectic mix of romantic Rococo-inspired pieces, 19th Century French Empire chandeliers, contemporary abstract art, quirky wallcoverings, and of course, a few Bond-inspired accents–perfect for the client who is heir to the James Bond empire!
