“For Tichenor, a primary goal of the architecture was to create a seamless dialogue between indoor and outdoor spaces. ‘Every single room on the ground floor has a way to get to the garden,’ Tichenor says.”

“Wearstler's home in Beverly Hills is equally va-va-voom, with Moorish chairs covered in garnet silk, antique Khotan rugs-and‚ in one of several ingenious flourishes that Tichenor & Thorp Architects brought to the house‚ a bathroom suite lined in book-matched onyx slabs that took four months to install.”

“In the spirit of Paul Williams, Tichenor and Thorp constructed new moldings, removed a fake fireplace, and restored original paneling. Existing rosebushes were incorporated into an entirely new landscaping scheme: the backyard hillside was terraced, descending from an outdoor dining area with a fireplace to a lap pool and pool house/gym. ”
