OUR PHILOSOPHY

HILL RONDERO LOVES WHEN OPPOSITES ATTRACT AND IS INSPIRED BY CONTRAST AND JUXTAPOSITION. SHE BELIEVES THAT WHETHER IN NATURE OR DESIGN, THIS EXPRESSION APPLIES AND ALLOWS HER TO CREATE BALANCE IN A SPACE. 

THAT BALANCE IS APPARENT THROUGHOUT RONDERO’S WORK WHERE SHE SEAMLESSLY BLENDS MODERN WITH ANTIQUES, AND SLEEK METALLIC FINISHES WITH ORGANIC, NATURAL MATERIALS. SHE IS ALWAYS INSPIRED BY GILDED ANTIQUES MIXED WITH CLASSIC, MODERN PIECES. LIKEWISE, SHE ADORES A PORTRAIT WITH A MODERN EDGE PAIRED WITH A VINTAGE ART PIECE FOUND AT AN OFF-THE-BEATEN-PATH SHOP. WITH THIS, AN OBJECT’S INTRINSIC BEAUTY IS MAGNIFIED WHEN COUPLED WITH ANOTHER OBJECT OF A VERY DIFFERENT NATURE. 

HER TRANSITIONAL AESTHETIC AND SIMPLE, SOPHISTICATED SENSIBILITY GO BEYOND THE COUPLING OF OPPOSITES IN HER DESIGNS. RONDERO ALSO LOVES TO LAYER NATURAL MATERIALS SUCH AS PLANTS, BRANCHES, AND TEXTURAL WOODS, AND AT LEAST ONE PIECE OF EDGY OR HUMOROUS DECOR IN HER PROJECTS. THIS MAINTAINS THE OVERALL HUMILITY AND LIVABILITY OF THE SPACE AND A REMINDER NOT TO TAKE ITSELF SO SERIOUSLY.

 

HILL RONDERO

RONDERO’S LOVE FOR DESIGN STARTED AS A YOUNG CHILD VISITING NEW HOME SITES WITH HER GRANDMOTHER AND GRANDFATHER, A NEW HOMES AGENT AND A BUILDER IN TOWN. CONSTRUCTION SITES WERE A REGULAR PART OF HER CHILDHOOD.

A LOVE FOR CREATING BALANCE IN A SPACE EVOLVED INTO A GREAT PASSION FOR ALL THINGS “DESIGN”. AFTER GRADUATION, SHE AND HER HUSBAND PAT MOVED FROM VIRGINIA TO LOS ANGELES, WHERE ANOTHER CHAPTER WAS WRITTEN IN HILL’S DESIGN JOURNEY. CALIFORNIA TRULY RESONATED WITH HILL AND HER LOVE FOR BRIGHT, NATURAL SPACES WITH PLENTY OF TEXTURE AND REFINED FINISHES. THIS IS NOT TO BE OVERSHADOWED BY A COMMITMENT TO CONSTANTLY TAKING RISK IN DESIGN.

A MIX OF OLD AND NEW GIVES EACH CLIENT A UNIQUE SPACE WHICH THEY CAN CONTINUE TO LAYER AND ENRICH OVER TIME. HILL BELIEVES A DESIGN SHOULD FEEL ALIVE AND ALWAYS EVOLVING TO ACHIEVE BALANCE AND CREATE A DESIRED MOOD.
