Until recently, this Buff & Hensman home in Pasadena epitomized the Mid-Century style its architects were so closely associated with. Since then, however, it's been given a contemporary twist, toned down with a Japanese touch inspired by the surrounding beauty of the San Gabriel mountains.
Designer and owner Stephani Gan wanted to honor her home's Mid-Century heritage while infusing a much-adored Japandi style. It isn't always easy to limit the enduring influence of a Mid-Century California home, but this beautiful transformation proves that it's possible to retain that 1950s charm while still modernizing a space and curating it to personal taste.
