Los Angeles-based firm Commune Design was the perfect match for a client looking to harness the details and energy of French modernism and adapt it for a Santa Monica apartment. That was just the case when Hollywood talent manager Evelyn O\u2019Neill (who produced Greta Gerwig\u2019s Lady Bird<\/em> und Little Women<\/em>) called on Roman Alonso and team after her lingering obsession with Le Corbusier\u2019s Maison La Roche left her wanting more for her high-rise ocean-side apartment. With a palette of cork flooring, white oak, stainless steel, copper, and unglazed tile, the kitchen is practically plucked from the mid-century. Here are the key elements.<\/p>\n

The barstools are designed custom by Commune and made by Classic Design in Los Angeles, in the manner of iconic design duo Van Keppel-Green.

Above: The white oak cabinetry was designed by Commune to resemble some of the sliding door features in the Charlotte Perriand-designed kitchen at Le Corbusier\u2019s L\u2019Unit\u00e9 d\u2019habitation de Marseille. The cabinets were fabricated by Miguel Rojas and finished with an actual color from Le Corbusier\u2019s Maison La Roche palette. The handles are inspired by Charlotte Perriand\u2019s design.
