Name: Dan Maddox + Alan Rauta of Cromatti
Location: West Los Angeles, California
Size: 2,200 square feet
Years lived in: 7 years—Own
Dan and Alan have been enjoying this modern and airy two-story home for about seven years. With ample room for entertaining, an indoor/outdoor shower combo and an outdoor gym, they have everything they could need under (and outside of) one roof. Together, they founded Cromatti, a modern furniture design company, which started soon after they custom designed their first piece of furniture for their own home— the family-sized kitchen table.
Dan and Alan’s house combines linear modern edges and fun touches of pattern and color. They are not afraid to breathe some emotion in to every inch of the house, whether it’s their dark moody guest room or the different accent lights that appear throughout the home. Though they have poured much love and attention into the design of the house, Dan says the single most significant thing in the house is his portrait of his sister, Enzia Farrell.
The most essential aspect of designing this home revolved around the kitchen and having plenty of storage, which they achieved tenfold. This house is made for Southern California weather. The master bath has my dream shower: It accommodates two people, doubles as a steam room and opens to the outside for «outdoor» showering. I also really love that they created an outdoor gym! I asked them how Los Angeles may have affected their personal design aesthetic and they said that they believe that LA always offers something new to explore and that their «lifestyle has become a reflection of that.»
Apartment Therapy Survey:
My Style: California, Westside cool
Inspiration: A modern environment with a sense of heritage
Favorite Element: Lighting
Biggest Challenge: Creating an open space with enough storage
What Friends Say: “Where’d you get this?”
Biggest Embarrassment: Our low microwave proved to be baby-friendly (depending on how you look at it). The open button seems to be endless entertainment for toddlers.
Proudest DIY: Our dining table, it was our inspiration for starting Cromatti
Biggest Indulgence: Keeping all the stuff not on display in storage
Best Advice: Flea Markets, Thrift stores and yard sales.
