For one Lemon Heights family, home became the ultimate retreat.
Designer @marcpridmoreinteriors reimagined their hillside residence into a resort-like haven — warm woods, soft modern tones, custom art, and layered textures shaping every room. Outdoors, tiered gardens flow into spaces made for gathering and unwinding, while the hillside itself now holds a gym and a theater created from what was once unused crawl space. The result is a home that balances luxury with heart, refinement with comfort, and beauty with deeply personal meaning.
