The Joy of Coastal Living
We create memorable interiors shaped by the timeless beauty and distinctive charm of Laguna Beach.
I’m Isla Monroe
I believe that the interior of a home should be as enduring as its architecture. Drawing from a background in spatial design and a deep familiarity with the Southern California coast, I approach each project as a problem of light, material, and human ritual.
From Laguna Beach to Newport Coast and Santa Barbara, my studio builds strong relationships with craftspeople and suppliers who bring care, patience, and intention to the work they do.
Inside Our Design Studio
A home takes shape slowly here, through materials thoughtfully gathered, drawings meticulously studied, and conversations that bring creative ideas to life.

Designed for the Way You Live
Every detail begins with you. Our team translates your vision into materials, textures, and spaces that feel distinctly yours and reflect the way you live.
In their words
“Isla understood how we wanted to live before we knew how to explain it. Our home now feels welcoming and entirely our own.”
