(2/2) “Second Nature” | An outstanding publication by @archdigest narrates the design story of the Milwood Reisdence, one of our favorite projects from 2023. Thanks again to the AD team for the support, kind words, and acknowledgment. “In a broad sense, Liberman describes his work as an exercise in plate tectonics, a carefully choreographed dance of materials and planes that slip from room to room, one floor to the next, inside and out. “It’s all about establishing connections and sight lines across the various spaces, creating a natural rhythm that feels easy and instinctive,” the architect muses....Beyond conceptual underpinnings and concerns about mood and materials, there was one more stipulation that drove the design: “I love a sunken living room. That was a requirement from day one, and I would not budge,” Jesse [the client] recalls. “I was going to get my conversation pit.” - Mayer Rus, AD February Issue 2024 architecture + interiors: @amldesignstudio photographer: @peterbaker42 text: @mayer.rus styling: @tessawatson link in bio for full story . . . . . . . . . . #archdigest #architecturaldigest #midcenturydesign #contemporarydesign #californiaarchitecture #residentialarchitecture #architecture #interiordesign #amldesignstudio

(1/2) “Second Nature” | An outstanding publication by @archdigest narrates the design story of the Milwood Residence, one of our favorite projects from 2023. Thanks again to the AD team for the support, kind words, and acknowledgment. “From the beginning there was a meeting of the minds among architect Alexander Liberman of AML Studio and his clients, television director/producer Jesse Bochco and his wife, production designer Rae Bochco. On a double lot in Venice, California, the trio envisioned a warm, expansive family home that simultaneously paid homage to the values of California midcentury-modern architecture... “This house is more of a tribute to classic midcentury than a slavish reproduction. The feeling is midcentury meets bohemian,” Jesse explains.”” - Mayer Rus, AD Febuary Issue 2024 architecture + interiors: @amldesignstudio photographer: @peterbaker42 text: @mayer.rus styling: @tessawatson link in bio for full story . . . . . . . . . . #archdigest #architecturaldigest #midcenturydesign #contemporarydesign #californiaarchitecture #residentialarchitecture #architecture #interiordesign #amldesignstudio

A dining moment from our Sag Harbor project, where the home’s 1890s roots inform a layered, quiet elegance. Woven rush, oak, and a Marina Simao painting create a dialogue between old and new, grounded by the soft geometry of exposed beams and natural light. . . photographer: @peterbaker42 interiordesign: @amldesignstudio . . . . . . . . . . #SagHarbor #SagHarborDesign #HamptonsArchitecture #marinaperezsimão #HamptonsHome #SagHarborStyle #SagHarborLiving #WarmMinimalism #MaterialDrivenDesign #CollectedInteriors #DesignWithSoul #ExposedBeams #BuiltInBeauty #AMLStudio #InteriorInspo #ResidentialArchitecture #DesignDaily #ArchDigestStyle

Some views for architect & designer @amldesignstudio ‘s Milwood Project in Venice, CA. The house that keeps on giving.

A living space defined by light and scale. Floor-to-ceiling curtains diffuse the sun across layered textures — vintage rugs, sculptural furniture, and custom details that balance comfort with refinement. At our project in Venice, the rhythm of waterfront living sets the backdrop for daily rituals and effortless gatherings. . photographer: @peterbaker42 architecture + interiors: @amldesignstudio . . #amlstudio #modernhome #designinspiration #interiordesign #architecturephotographylovers #midcenturymodern #contemporarydesign #curatedinteriors #californialiving #archdigest #vogueliving

Our 10th store for @chachamatcha — now open in Beverly Hills. Green marble meets humble ACX plywood, softened upholstery, and a bit of irreverence. Designed to feel both bold and calm, layered and light — a place to pause, recharge, and enjoy. Always a pleasure to help shape the evolving identity of this brand.

A study in reinvention.
This vintage LC2 frame was salvaged, stripped down, and powder coated in a deep oxblood—an intentional contrast to the softness of the boiled wool we had left over from a past upholstery commission. It now lives as a sculptural pause in the flow of the studio—a tactile intersection of memory, material, and modernism. . photographer: @peterbaker42 architecture + interiors: @amldesignstudio . . . . . . . . . . #AMLdesignstudio #InteriorArchitecture #FurnitureRevival #LC2Chair #DesignStudioLife #ModernCraft #TactileInteriors #MaterialDrivenDesign #ContemporaryInteriors #OfficeDesign #VintageModern #MidcenturyInfluence #WabiSabiInteriors #DesignProcess #ArchitecturalDetails #BoiledWool #PowderCoatedSteel #CreativeReuse #LayeredSpaces #MinimalMood

Collaboration with skilled craftsmen and dedicated vendors is one of the most rewarding aspects of the design process. In this space, the custom millwork and black walnut wall panels—expertly fabricated and installed by @swisswoodworkinginc —are a testament to that partnership. We visited @gl_veneer to hand-select a sequenced set of walnut veneers, ensuring every panel was perfectly matched and thoughtfully laid up. The result is a refined composition that reflects the precision and coordination required at every step—beautifully executed by the team at @bruderconstructioninc . photographer: @peterbaker42 architecture + interiors: @amldesignstudio . . . . . . . . . . #ContemporaryArchitecture #MidCenturyInfluence #LuxuryInteriors #HighEndResidential #ArchitecturalMillwork #CustomInteriors #MaterialMatters #TactileDesign #InteriorArchitecture #DesignDetails #ModernWarmth #VelvetInteriors #NYCArchitecture #NewYorkDesign #LosAngelesDesign #CaliforniaModern #SoCalArchitecture #AspenArchitecture #MountainModern #DesignLovers

We have been quietly working on a new project in Santa Monica Canyon and we are excited to share our development renderings. The new entry to this home has a lower-level, 3-car garage, featuring a guest house above with views of the sycamores in the canyon. . architecture + interiors: @amldesignstudio . . . . . . . . . . #architecture #archdaily #archilovers #design #architecturedesign #warmmodern #architecturelovers #warmmodernism #homeinspiration #interiordesigner #designinspo #modernism #modernistarchitecture #midcenturymodernhome #californiamodernism #californiaarchitecture #californiadreaming #modernistdesign #customhomes #newconstruction

Our custom designed desks, and matching storage units are highly functional, and integral to the daily operation of this office space. The use of white laminated plywood highlights materiality and detailing, as well as the minimal design aesthetic. Integrated book displays on the fronts of the desks allow the units to curate the space with intriguing displays, while simultaneously camouflaging the work spaces of the office. | Darrow Contemporary, Santa Monica . photographer: @peterbaker42 architecture + interiors: @amldesignstudio . . . . . . . . . . #collaborativespace #designoffice #officedesign #customfurnituredesign #darrowcontemporary #eamesoffice #vintageeames #architecturedesign #architecturephotography #architecturelovers #interiordesign #interiordesigner #designinspo #midcenturystyle #archdigest #interiorstylinginspo #europly
