Chimorro House
Beverly Hills, California

Built in 1926 by American architect Roy Seldon Price, the Spanish Revival Chimorro House was originally designed for Mrs. Chimorro, and is thought to have existed as a speakeasy during prohibition. Building upon the work of architect Michael McKeel, Tichenor & Thorp continued the restoration of the storied home and re-envisioned the property’s landscape by adding lush gardens. Through this process of reimagination, Tichenor & Thorp converted a former gatehouse into a whimsical Moroccan-inspired garden teahouse.
