Natural Luxury House Tour in Los Angeles | Ocean Front Walk | Dining Room

Step into the private world of a global CEO’s residence on Ocean Front Walk, Venice, Los Angeles. This 2,520 SF dining space is designed with Zen-luxury minimalism, showcasing a masterful balance of formality and comfort. Anchored by a bespoke oak wood dining table, the setting captures warmth, gravitas, and quiet refinement.

In this home, luxury is understated, never ostentatious. Every design detail—from the table’s natural grain to carefully curated art-like décor—creates an environment where business discussions, intimate family gatherings, and private soirées unfold seamlessly, blending elegance with serenity.

Design Story

The design narrative unfolds with the concept: “Private Elegance for Global Gatherings.” Conceived as a sanctuary for exclusive dinners, the dining space offers a refined stage where luxury does not overwhelm but enhances presence.

At the heart lies a long oak wood dining table, chosen not just as furniture but as a symbol of gravitas and hospitality. Its deep tones and tactile textures invite dialogue and dining, while grounding the space in timeless sophistication. The table’s natural oak finish introduces both warmth and stability, reflecting the client’s desire for authenticity and substance.

Complementing this centerpiece, sculptural accessories—from ceramic vessels to abstract decorative pieces—were placed like curated artworks. Their presence transforms the room into a gallery-like experience, elevating each dinner into a cultural encounter. Subtle lighting accentuates these objects, shifting the room’s mood from intimate conversations to grand occasions.

Homeowner Q&A

Favorite Element

“The oak dining table—it feels like the perfect blend of strength and serenity, where we can host intimate conversations or formal dinners without changing a single detail.”

Biggest Challenge & Solution

The challenge was ensuring the space balanced gravitas and warmth. A design leaning too formal risked becoming cold, while too casual would dilute exclusivity. The solution: Zen-luxury minimalism, blending sleek lines with natural oak’s organic depth, softened by curated artistic objects.

Budget

With a USD 230,000 investment, the dining space reflects bespoke craftsmanship, refined materiality, and art-level styling—a composition where every dollar reinforces exclusivity.

Lifestyle Impact

The dining room is more than a place to eat; it’s a stage for lifestyle rituals. For the homeowner, a global CEO, this space is where private dinners with peers and dignitaries unfold. The oak table becomes a canvas for Versace Home glassware, Louis Vuitton Art de la Table pieces, or Roche Bobois dining chairs, all enhancing a sense of cosmopolitan refinement.

Equally, family evenings remain welcoming and warm, supported by the oak’s organic presence and the carefully balanced lighting. The room resonates with the dual rhythms of corporate diplomacy and intimate family life—a perfect fusion for HNW clientele.
