Lisa Petrazzolo is a visionary interior designer who excels at creating spaces where sophistication and nature exist in seamless harmony. Her unique style, described as a "warmly minimal" and "pared-back approach," ensures that every interior choice is purposeful, textural, and perfectly aligned with the architectural vision.

Collaboration and the Biophilic Principle

Petrazzolo’s work on the acclaimed Rustic Canyon House in Los Angeles exemplifies this philosophy. It was conceived in collaboration with renowned architect Noah Walker of Walker Workshop, whose design created a modern, biophilic interpretation of the classic Hacienda-style home.

The residence is structured like a terrarium, built with expansive glass walls and a pinwheel layout to maximize light and views of the surrounding coast live oaks. Petrazzolo’s interior design became the final, crucial step in this process, ensuring the home felt not just furnished, but an authentic extension of the lush environment. This collaborative success led to the project being featured prominently in design publications, including The Local Project.

A Canvas of Warmth and Texture

Petrazzolo’s artistry is in using materials to create a sense of enduring calm and quiet luxury:

• Warm Palette: She uses a rich selection of materials, including honey-toned oak floors, light oak cabinetry, handmade stone, and a tactile Petersen brick feature wall. This palette introduces warmth and complexity without distracting from the scenery.

• Playful and Purposeful Details: The design layers in sculptural, eye-catching elements, such as brass accents and Apparatus Studio light fixtures, which feel integrated and essential. Her design complements Walker’s dramatic architectural features, like the 15-foot-high "kitchen cathedral" window that perfectly frames a grove of trees.

• The Seamless Dialogue: Ultimately, Petrazzolo's design achieves what the architecture sets out to do: creating a fluid experience where light, texture, and time engage in a continuous, elegant dialogue.

Through her masterful interior design, Lisa Petrazzolo transforms architectural spaces into living experiences—sanctuaries where modern simplicity and natural beauty meet.
