Full-service interior design for homes throughout Manhattan Beach — from the Sand Section to Hill Section and beyond. Ataman Studio partners with residential clients on new construction, whole-home renovations, and room-by-room design, bringing refined materials and considered planning to every project.
Manhattan Beach homes live differently than most — compact lots, ocean proximity, and an emphasis on indoor-outdoor flow all shape the way a space should be designed. Ataman Studio works with residential clients throughout the city, from beachfront properties to Hill Section estates, on projects ranging from new construction to full interior overhauls. We manage the process closely, coordinating with architects and contractors from early planning through final installation.
Design in Manhattan Beach comes with its own set of considerations — salt air, natural light, tight lot lines, and a strong local preference for clean, livable interiors over anything overly formal. We factor those realities into every material and layout decision, rather than treating them as afterthoughts. Our team works alongside architects and general contractors throughout construction, and partners with a trusted network of California-based artisans and vendors to carry design intent through to the finished home.
From beachfront remodels to new builds in the Hill Section, Ataman Studio provides end-to-end interior design support — covering everything from early space planning to the final styled walkthrough. Each service is delivered with the same close coordination with architects, contractors, and local vendors.
Homes in Manhattan Beach face conditions most interiors don’t have to account for — salt air, narrow lots, and rooms that need to work hard in a small footprint. Our interior design services are shaped around those realities from the start, with materials and layouts chosen to hold up to daily life near the water, not just look good on install day.
That same attention carries through execution. We coordinate directly with architects and contractors on new builds and renovations, and rely on a vetted network of local artisans and vendors to keep quality consistent from the first material sample to the final walkthrough.

Every project comes with the same level of coordination and attention to detail, regardless of scope:
Yes. We work with residential clients across Manhattan Beach, including the Sand Section, Hill Section, Tree Section, and El Porto, handling projects from initial concept through final installation.
Sand Section lots are typically narrow and close to the water, which shapes both layout and material choices. We prioritize space-efficient floor plans, indoor-outdoor connection, and materials that hold up to salt air and coastal humidity over time.
Yes. We work on new builds, teardown-rebuilds, and whole-home renovations, coordinating closely with architects and contractors from early planning through final walkthrough — common in Manhattan Beach given the volume of ground-up construction in the city.
Yes. We’re experienced working alongside architects and contractors familiar with the city’s building requirements, and we coordinate our design decisions to align with the approved architectural plans.
We handle full-home interior design, new construction, renovations, kitchen and bath design, and room-by-room refreshes for both full-time residences and second homes.
Timelines depend on scope — a single room refresh may take a few weeks, while new construction or full renovations can span several months to over a year. We’ll outline a clearer timeline after an initial consultation.
