The Greene & Greene Craftsman tradition, the grand Colonial Revival estates of [San Marino](https://jacinteriors.com/cities/san-marino) adjacent Oak Knoll, the Arts & Crafts bungalows of Bungalow Heaven, the mid-century experiments in Altadena — the area's architecture is a serious subject, and the people who live here generally know it. JAC Interiors brings full-service design to Pasadena homeowners who want interiors that match the quality and intention of their architecture. We're not the studio for clients who want to gut a 1910 Craftsman and install an open-concept floor plan. We're the studio for clients who want to make a landmark home extraordinary. ## The Pasadena Aesthetic Pasadena and its immediate neighbors contain more significant residential architecture per square mile than almost anywhere in California — Greene & Greene Craftsmans, Colonial Revival and Mediterranean estates north of California Boulevard, and a growing layer of careful mid-century and contemporary infill. Designing here means understanding what the architecture was reaching for, then helping it get there. Period details in these homes — inglenook fireplaces, clinker brick, hand-hewn timbers, original tile — aren't obstacles to design around. They're the anchors. We source contemporary materials that have the weight and warmth to coexist with original woodwork and stone, not the ones that look cheap by comparison. The result is interiors that feel like the natural continuation of what was built here, updated for how people actually live. ## Pasadena's Architectural Range Pasadena and its immediate neighbors contain more significant residential architecture per square mile than almost anywhere in California. The Craftsman tradition is the most recognized — the Greene & Greene masterworks, the hundreds of bungalows throughout the flats, the larger Craftsman estates on Hillside and Arroyo Terrace. But Pasadena also has a substantial Colonial Revival and Mediterranean tradition, particularly in the older estate streets north of California Boulevard. Then there's the mid-century layer: post-war ranch homes throughout the flatlands, experimental California modernist houses scattered through the foothills, and a growing number of careful contemporary infill projects that try — with varying success — to contribute something to this setting. We work across all of it. ## Designing in Pasadena ### We Work at the Scale the Architecture Demands Pasadena estates are large, formal, and often compartmentalized in ways that reflect the era's social conventions. Designing a dining room that was built for twelve-person dinners in 1912 requires a different approach than a contemporary open-plan kitchen. We bring the scale of thinking to match the scale of the rooms. ### Material Knowledge That Runs Deep Period-appropriate design doesn't mean reproduction furniture and antique-store filler. It means understanding which contemporary materials have the weight and warmth to coexist with original woodwork and stone — and which ones look cheap by comparison. We know the difference, and we source accordingly. ### Respectful of What Makes These Homes Rare Original details in Pasadena homes — inglenook fireplaces, clinker brick, hand-hewn timbers, period tile — are irreplaceable. We design around them as the anchors of the space, not obstacles to be worked around. The result is interiors that feel like the natural continuation of what the original architects were reaching for. ## Pasadena Neighborhoods & Surrounding Areas We Serve We design throughout Pasadena and the broader San Gabriel Valley: - Historic Highlands / Arroyo Terrace - Bungalow Heaven Landmark District - Oak Knoll & San Marino adjacent - South Pasadena - Altadena - San Marino - Arcadia - Monrovia & Sierra Madre ## Ready to start your Pasadena project?
