Designing in Pacific Palisades requires a deep understanding of coastal architecture, natural light, and the relationship between indoor and outdoor living. Our studio approaches each project with a focus on spatial clarity, proportion, and material integrity — creating interiors that feel both elevated and effortless.
We work with a curated palette of organic materials such as natural wood, stone, linen, and plaster, layering textures to bring warmth and depth into modern spaces. Every decision — from architectural detailing to custom furnishings — is intentional, resulting in homes that feel cohesive, balanced, and quietly luxurious.
By integrating contemporary design principles with the relaxed essence of coastal California, we create environments that are both visually refined and highly livable.
Every home in Pacific Palisades carries a relationship to its setting — canyon views, ocean light, mature landscaping — and that relationship shapes how we approach design here.
Ataman Studio partners with residential clients across the neighborhood on new construction, whole-home renovations, and rebuilds, treating each project as an opportunity to design around what makes a site distinct. Our team manages the process end to end, working in step with architects and contractors from the first sketch through final installation.
Ataman Studio offers full-service interior design tailored to the scope of each project — from a single room refresh to full rebuilds and new construction. We manage every phase, working closely with architects, contractors, and trusted artisans to ensure a seamless process from initial concept to final styling.

Interior design here has to account for more than style — hillside lots, ocean-facing light, and a strong sense of privacy all shape how a home should be laid out and finished. At Ataman Studio, we treat those factors as part of the design brief from day one, not constraints to work around later. Every material, layout, and finish decision is made with an eye toward how the space will actually be used, and how it will hold up over time.
Our process is built on close collaboration — with architects and contractors on rebuilds and new construction, and with a trusted network of California-based artisans and vendors on sourcing and execution. That continuity, from early planning through final installation, is what allows a home’s design intent to carry through to the finished result.
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.
Ataman Studio did an amazing job on our garage conversion ADU. It’s now a cozy rental unit that pays for itself.
Clean drawings, responsive team, and timely delivery. Their CAD drafting services were perfect for our renovation in Palo Alto.
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!
We came in for CAD drafting and left with a full-service partner. These people know the Los Angeles building code inside and out! Recommend ☺️
Our detached ADU feels like a true home, not just a backyard shed. Everything is well-planned, and the layout works beautifully.
From the first ideas to the final mansion house plan was like 8 weeks. Every time we met, it was more like hanging out and looking at cool ideas than a “formal meeting”. Each version just got better till it was exactly what we pictured… maybe even better.
After searching for weeks, I finally found a design-build firm in Los Angeles that could handle both creative vision and technical complexity.
This is amazing, it looks like something out of a movie! Special kudos for the service! 🙂
Honestly, we had no clue where to start – just knew we wanted a big place, proper mansion vibes, but still warm and homey. First meeting with Anna, she just… listened. Asked stuff I’d never even thought about – like where we hang out most, how we use the yard, how much cooking we actually do. The first plan they showed us… wow. Huge open kitchen, living room with glass walls looking out at the hills, master bath that feels like a hotel suite. We did change a few things – I wanted a bigger pantry, more closet space (of course lol) – and they made it super easy. Every update came back fast, with little notes explaining the tweaks. About 1 and a half months from the first chat to the final plan. No stress, no drama… just smooth. We’re stoked.
Very professional team. We worked with them on a 2nd-story addition in our duplex, and they coordinated everything – from structural design to final permit approval.
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. Their team was quick to respond, explained everything clearly, and knew exactly how to handle the city’s requirements. 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.

Ataman Studio did an amazing job converting my 500 sq ft garage into a 1 bed, 1 bath ADU with a closet and laundry. From our first meeting, their professionalism and creativity were evident.

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.
