Nadia Geller Designs (NGD) has completed the interior design installation at Belle on Bev, a mixed-use multifamily community owned and managed by developer Cityview in Los Angeles’ culturally rich Historic Filipinotown (HiFi) neighborhood. The meticulous detail of the development’s interior design pays homage to the Art Deco movement of the 1920s and 1930s, the popular style when the first wave of Filipino immigrants settled in Los Angeles.
The six-story building, located at 1800 W. Beverly Blvd, has 3.5k sf of ground-level retail space. The property offers a mix of studio, one- and two-bedroom apartments, featuring several unique and stylish amenities. A grand player piano is the centerpiece of Belle on Bev’s comfortable lobby, set against the geometric patterns found in the surrounding flooring, lighting and decorative room dividers.
While Belle on Bev’s design is a modern take on Art Deco themes, there are also thoughtful nods to the Philippines and its culture. A sunny corner of the lobby is furnished with comfortable wicker seating and decorated with a custom-made mandala by local artist Nicanor Evangelista, Jr. The stunning piece was commissioned by NGD and combines several symbols important in Filipino heritage, including the lotus flower, palm fronds, the guiding star, and Sampaguita (the national flower of the Philippines).
Once inside, residents can enjoy the community’s spacious clubhouse, which features a towering ceiling with exposed beams and dark gray accent walls. Open shelving is built into the stairs leading to the residents’ remote workspace, CV Works, furnished with bright, modern workstations and conference areas. For intimate lounging, there is an elegant speakeasy decorated with peacock motifs and metallic light fixtures. NGD selected and procured the lighting, furniture, fixtures and textiles throughout the property. The firm designed the building’s fitness center, yoga space, as well as the roof deck, courtyards, and dog wash pet spa.
Belle on Bev also features well-appointed outdoor space, including two rooftop decks that offer scenic views of downtown Los Angeles, as well as a cocktail bar, lounge seating, movie screen, projected art installation, outdoor kitchen with BBQs and pizza oven, wine and whiskey lockers, and a media wall. A 30-foot pool and nearby spa area features lounge chairs with umbrellas, a see-through fireplace and day beds, all within a community courtyard.
“Belle on Bev gave us the rare opportunity as interior designers: to go big in our colors, patterns, and motifs,” said Nadia Geller, president of Nadia Geller Designs. “Art Deco style lends itself to bold and modern looks, and that guided us in the visioning process.”
This is NGD’s fourth recent project for Cityview and was preceded by Jasper – a 296-unit opportunity zone project near Downtown Los Angeles, The Parker – a 123-unit multifamily project in West Los Angeles, and Atrio – a 276-unit value-add renovation in Burbank.
NGD partnered with other firms during the design and installation process including architecture firm A.C. Martin and WPIC Construction.
