Great design isn’t just about how a space looks — it’s about how it feels to live in it every day. We create interiors in Pasadena that are intuitive, comfortable, and naturally aligned with your lifestyle.
From morning light in the kitchen to relaxed evenings in the living space, every element is considered in context — how you move, gather, work, and unwind. The goal is to create a home that feels effortless, where nothing is overdone and everything simply works.
Our designs balance softness and structure, openness and privacy, creating spaces that feel calm, livable, and quietly refined.
A successful interior requires more than just great design — it needs structure, clarity, and precise execution. Our full-service approach ensures every stage of your Pasadena project is carefully managed.
We begin with concept development and space planning, followed by detailed design, material selection, and custom elements. Throughout the process, we collaborate with contractors and specialists to ensure every detail is executed to the highest standard.
From the first idea to the final styling, we create a smooth, stress-free experience — delivering a refined interior that feels complete and timeless.

RatingHonestly didn't expect this level of attention from a boutique firm. The Ataman Studio team grasped our vision - we weren't looking for just another generic addition, but something that would blend seamlessly with Los Altos's unique hillside character. They worked efficiently without all the bureaucratic nonsense you get with larger firms. The final house design incorporates natural materials and clever sightlines that make our small lot feel twice as spacious. Couldn't be happier with the investment.
I have worked with Ataman Studio on projects, and it’s always a great experience. The plans are clear, easy to work with, and they’re always quick to respond if questions come up. Makes my job a lot smoother. Definitely recommend!
I’ve worked with a lot of design firms over the years, but this one really delivered. I came to them with a tricky hillside lot in Malibu and the goal of building a proper luxury mansion with big ocean views. They did a full site walk, pointing out where the light hits in the morning and how to position the pool for privacy. The layout they came up with has retractable glass walls, an infinity pool, and an outdoor kitchen that flows straight into the dining space — it feels like one big living area inside and out. The design phase was about four months. We met in their LA office a few times and did the rest over video calls while I was traveling. Anytime I asked for a change, they’d send back more than one option so I could pick what worked best. By the end, I knew this mansion house plan was going to be a highlight in my portfolio.
I was surprised how easy the process was. They handled all the drafting services, zoning questions, and even helped us get the ADU approved faster than expected!
Our detached ADU feels like a true home, not just a backyard shed. Everything is well-planned, and the layout works beautifully.
I'll be honest - we were skeptical about hiring a smaller design firm for our Beverly Hills mansion renovation. We're used to big names, fancy offices, the whole show. But Ataman Studio proved that talent trumps size every time. They redesigned our estate with such sophisticated attention to detail. The wine cellar alone is a masterpiece - temperature-controlled, custom millwork, even a tasting area with imported Italian marble. They coordinated with our interior designer seamlessly and managed to preserve the mansion's 1920s bones while giving it a completely contemporary feel. The entertaining spaces flow beautifully from the chef's kitchen through the great room to the outdoor pavilion. Honestly, we get compliments every time we host. Anna has created something truly special here - a home that's both a smart investment and an absolute joy to live in.
Andrew was instrumental in taking care of of the drawings for my remodel. As a contractor, I was truly appreciative of the knowledge that he had when it came to drawing the details of the project. The homeowner expressed tremendous satisfaction in not only how fast the drawings were completed, but also the detail of each area of the house. Even though it was a small addition to the house, Andrew made it a big priority, and was able to listen to all the recommendations, and put them all down into actual plans. The drawings were also able to be submitted to the building department, and we only needed to get the Structural Engineer detail, so it made a huge difference that Andrew had such detail for the Structural Engineer to add on, and then be able to submit to the city for the permit process. Thanks again for doing such an excellent job, I look forward to having you draw my next project. Brian Wimer Blue Bear Construction

Super grateful to Ataman Studio for helping us get the permit for our UPS Store remodel in LA.

Thanks to them, we got the permit without delays and stayed on schedule with construction. Couldn’t have done it without their help — highly recommend!
I had a great experience working with Ataman Studio on my project in San Bernardino. We were adding a second-story addition to the main house and building a new 750 sq ft ADU — and everything went smoothly from start to finish. The team was knowledgeable, responsive, and easy to work with. They handled the design and permitting process with professionalism and care, and I always felt confident we were in good hands. The plans were clear, well thought out, and approved without delays. I’m very happy with how everything turned out and would absolutely recommend Ataman Studio to anyone planning a construction or renovation project in LA County.

Small but mighty! Ataman Studio delivered top-notch design services for our House Addition in Mission Viejo. Their local knowledge and personal touch made a big difference. You won’t find that kind of care at the big firms.

Working with the folks at Ataman Studio was such a great experience.

The whole process was super easy, and I’m honestly so happy with how everything turned out. I’d definitely recommend them to anyone!
Andrew and his crew were very responsive. After I contacted him, he visited the site within 24 hours. A few days later, he delivered the draft plans for my proposed renovation and ADU. They walked us through all my potential issues and answered all our concerns. His team walked us through the process from beginning to end. In addition, he was very reasonable and delivered as promised. I highly recommend his team for future additions or an ADU project.

Not with furniture or colors — but with understanding how you live. We start with conversations, references, and spatial analysis to define what the home should feel like before shaping how it looks.
No. Each Pasadena project responds to its architecture, light, and surroundings. The result is always different — but consistently balanced, restrained, and intentional.
Yes, we collaborate with contractors and architects on home remodeling projects, ensuring a cohesive design from start to finish.
As much or as little as you prefer. Some clients are deeply involved in every decision, others rely on us to lead. We adapt to your pace while keeping the process clear and structured.
It’s rarely one element. It’s proportion, light, materials, and how everything relates. When nothing feels missing — and nothing feels excessive — the space works.
Not necessarily. While we often work on full homes in Pasadena, we also take on focused spaces where thoughtful design can make a meaningful difference.
