Mid-Century Meets Modern Refinement in Ome Dezin and Willett’s CM G1 House Renovation

Summary

• The CM G1 House in Laurel Canyon undergoes a transformation by Ome Dezin, featuring architectural features and custom buildouts by Willett
• The renovation preserves mid-century elements while introducing modern refinements, emphasizing spatial flow and natural connectivity

Nestled in the hills of Laurel Canyon, the CM G1 House has undergone a striking transformation led by Ome Dezin, with all architectural features and custom buildouts meticulously designed by Willett. Originally built in the 1960s, this 2,920-square-foot residence has been reimagined to enhance spatial flow and connectivity to its natural surroundings. The renovation preserves its mid-century roots, while introducing modern refinements that emphasize warm materials, sculptural forms and seamless indoor-outdoor transitions.

Throughout the interior, Douglas fir paneling pays homage to the mid-century era. This is complemented by black flagstone flooring that extends from the entryway through the kitchen, dining area and study — creating a cohesive visual language. Willett’s furniture plays a central role in shaping the home’s atmosphere. Piece such as the Radi Table, Gio Stool and Popo Chair adds a bold yet harmonious presence to the residence. Custom-built elements, including a slatted front door, study desk and integrated storage system in the primary bedroom, further reinforce the home’s tailored aesthetic. Additionally, carpets from artist Scarlett Rouge‘s Whispers collection for CC-Tapis are featured throughout the house, marking their U.S. debut.

The renovation also incorporates thoughtful architectural interventions, such as a refurbished corner fireplace that serves as a focal point in the living area. Skylights introduce natural light, while dark marble countertops and backsplashes provide a striking contrast to the extensive woodwork.

The design team sought to create a holistic environment where every detail, from layout to furnishings, reflects a singular, elevated vision. The collaboration between Ome Dezin and Willett results in a residence that feels intentional, fresh and serene, offering a modern interpretation of mid-century design while remaining deeply connected to its historical roots. This project also reflects a natural evolution of Willett’s own design language, a vision that Joelle and Jesse, Ome Dezin’s co-founders and longtime collaborators, knew would perfectly suit the property.
