Descanso House

Architect: Richard Stampton · Built by Seed LA Design & Build

Seed served as builder and cabinetmaker for the Descanso House — Australian architect Richard Stampton's own Silver Lake home. The project transformed a dilapidated 1920s cottage into a luminous residence defined by vaulted ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows, redwood exterior siding, and copper-wrapped Douglas fir doors. Seed built the custom cabinetry and millwork that runs through the interiors, complementing pink marble surfaces and hand-sculpted timber door handles. Landscape by Terremoto.
