Fresno High - Tower District Designer's Modern Cottage

Originally a dilapidated 1920s cottage with little to no original detail remaining, this home was given a second life shortly after purchase. Fully reimagined, the space was transformed into what we call Scand-ali Cool: a blend of pared-down Scandinavian minimalism and laid-back California boho vibes. The result is a modern monochromatic retreat, defined by a palette of white, black, gray, warm woods, terracottas, and layered textures. Every detail was selected with intention—each piece of furniture, accessory, and artwork plays a meaningful role in the overall experience. It has become more than just a place to stay; it’s a visual and tactile journey where thoughtful, design-forward choices create an ambiance that’s both calming and creatively energizing. You can spin vintage records on the record player, sink into one-of-a-kind vintage furnishings, explore a curated library of books, or admire original mid-century art tucked into the cozy bedroom niche. The fully equipped kitchen features white quartz counters, soft gray cabinets, and a custom shaker-style peg rail system in place of upper cabinetry. Throughout the home, bright and airy spaces are filled with natural light, offering plenty of room to relax, create, or simply breathe. The open flow and abundance of natural light make this home an ideal setting for photoshoots, co-working sessions, or anyone seeking a fresh space to think, make, and feel inspired.
