The design inspiration behind the space drew heavily from American Craftsman architecture and the works of renowned local architects Greene and Greene. Additionally, textile artists Anni Albers and Sheila Hicks, inspired the design choices behind color and texture to the crafted architectural elements. Tones of blues, greens, ochres, and deep reds provide a fresh take on the Craftsman palette, creating a balance between tradition and modernity. The space features an array of stand-out elements such as the intricate finish carpentry and millwork details, tile detailing at the entry fireplace, and a custom fireplace screen. Vintage glass light fixtures and copper surface mount fixtures add a timeless touch, while the home also features artwork by Hiroko Takeda and Joe Henry Bake.

Known as the City of Trees, the neighborhood's rich architectural history consisting of Craftsman homes, Spanish Colonials, and Tudors, guided Electric Bowery’s approach. The surrounding landscapes of South Pasadena played a significant role in influencing the design. The property itself boasts a beautiful Magnolia and a large sycamore tree, both of which were preserved in the renovation. Collaborating with Terremoto on the design and concepts, Electric Bowery created a harmonious extension of the indoor spaces. The small-town atmosphere inspired the design of the approach from the street to the entry, aiming to create a friendly park-like environment and contribute to the neighborhood's greenery.
