The Challenge
The homeowners in Trousdale Estates wanted to modernize their outdated master bathroom while maintaining the mid-century modern aesthetic that defines their Beverly Hills neighborhood. The existing layout felt cramped and lacked functionality, with limited storage, poor lighting, and an aging bathtub that no longer suited their lifestyle. They envisioned a spa-like retreat with clean lines, premium finishes, and an open, airy feel. As with most homes in the area, working within the architectural integrity of a mid-century property was critical. Additionally, Beverly Hills' strict permitting and inspection regulations added complexity. The homeowners wanted a construction company in Beverly Hills with proven expertise to guide them through the process, avoid delays, and deliver a flawless result.
Our Approach
Oria Builders began with an in-depth consultation to understand the homeowners’ vision, design preferences, and functional needs. Our design team presented 3D renderings and material samples to ensure every detail aligned with their expectations. Knowing that the Beverly Hills permitting process can be time-consuming, we submitted plans early and worked closely with the city to expedite approvals. The homeowners selected a neutral palette of whites and grays, complemented by warm wood accents to balance modern and organic elements. Premium materials, such as Italian porcelain tile and quartz countertops, were chosen for their durability and timeless appeal. The layout was reconfigured to maximize space, relocating the shower and vanity to improve flow. Every decision was made with attention to both form and function, creating a sophisticated retreat in line with the neighborhood's character.
Build Process
The project began with a full demo of the existing bathroom, including removal of old tiles, fixtures, and cabinetry. We reinforced the subfloor to accommodate new plumbing and radiant heating, a feature the homeowners requested for added comfort. The framing was adjusted to expand the shower area and create a custom niche for toiletries. Our carpenters installed a floating vanity with soft-close drawers and integrated LED lighting for a sleek, modern look. A frameless glass shower enclosure was custom-fitted on-site, with dual rain showerheads for a spa-like experience. The team paid meticulous attention to detail, ensuring perfectly aligned grout lines on the 24x48 Italian porcelain tiles that extended from floor to ceiling. Despite the challenges of coordinating multiple trades and managing inspections, the project stayed on schedule due to our streamlined process and daily site management. Every stage was executed with precision, from plumbing rough-ins to the final coat of paint.
