Residential Renovation
Set amidst ancient native Australian trees, The Budge Club seamlessly integrates the clean lines of Modern Mid-Century Palm Springs architecture with the warmth of classical interior design. The exterior embraces a resort-like aesthetic, while the interiors feature soft textures, curved forms, and a muted palette that exudes comfort and sophistication. This harmonious blend creates a home that is both stylish and inviting. Inside, each space tells its own story. The kitchen boasts Zellige tiles and custom cabinetry in slate green, complemented by brass hardware and a thoughtfully concealed butler’s pantry. The office, designed as a creative studio, features a floating desk and open shelving that doubles as an art installation. The laundry, often an overlooked space, shines with nude Venetian plaster walls and polished concrete floors, transforming it into a room filled with joy. Throughout the home, Carlene’s attention to detail and commitment to blending functionality with aesthetic appeal are evident, resulting in a residence that truly reflects the personalities and lifestyles of its inhabitants.
