The three-bedroom, two-bath property is located just minutes from Ojai’s quaint boutiques and organic cafes. The home is a lush oasis within the desert landscape—and it comes with a detached studio and a shimmering backyard pool with a spa.

The current owners, an actor and a director, lovingly embraced many of the home’s period details during renovation work—including the extensive redwood paneling, floor-to-ceiling windows, and architectural cinderblock screens.

The Aurora Orange front door makes a classic midcentury statement. Clad in vertically laid wooden slats, the exterior previews details found throughout the interior.

  • THE TOY BOX

    – The client: I need a “toy store to store toys”
    – ji study: “We create a space that EVERYTHING IS A TOY !!”
    The project is intended for the youngest clients we have had:
    3 and 5 years. These mini-clients do not demand great needs, only places,
    spaces, colors and imaginative experiences.
    That is why we decided to make the leap of designing the furniture that we were commissioned
    to make a “mega furniture” that in itself is the toy and also
    The toy box.
    We had a very interesting volume in one of the bedrooms of
    a building built in the 40’s where we obtained the great advantage and
    opportunity to have a height of 4 meters free.
    This mega-furniture is based, in its concept, on a poplar wood fold
    that surrounds the space and creates volumes according to the places we wanted
    give them:
    – beds in line with nest beds below
    – stairs
    – yellow play tunnel with hemispheres and networks
    – benches
    – blackboards on walls and furniture
    – fun and sliding chairs
    – A desk table representing a sun
    – Lights like moons or stars
    – High and low storage
    In short, it is a space if a specific purpose, timeless
    and with the values ​​of IMAGINE, DISCOVER, INVEST, UP, DOWN,
