‘My cues have always come from Nature’
Timeless, warm, comfortable, organic, and understated, Angelica layers the colors of nature into livable, breathable spaces. “Firstly I consult with nature, and every good architect and designer knows this. So many rooms are beautiful in photos, but they’re often cold and uncomfortable, not rooms you want to live in,” says Angelica.
"Angelica IS A TRUE VISIONARY! SHE has amazing taste, an incredible sense of balance, and highly refined eye, but always listens to what your vision is, and then goes above and beyond in actualizing it."-Tom Underwood
Serene, sophisticated timeless, muted, welcoming, and cohesive, are words that Angelica’s clients often use in describing her style. Angelica has an incredible eye for quality and beauty and is an expert in finding unusual pieces from around the world that give her client’s homes a sense of timelessness. “After all, in the end, it’s not just about what a room looks like, it's about how you feel & live in a space," she says.
“One must always consult with nature for a house to become a home”
At the core of everything she creates, embodies the energy of beauty, play of light, wellness & peace. Angelica prefers organic products that become more beautiful with time. Materials such as French limestone, hand-forged railings, reclaimed or old-growth wide-plank floorboards, metals such as copper, all get better with age, revealing their beauty and the history of those that have passed through.
Discovering the ‘energetically right’ piece of land, the perfect positioning of a home and its gardens according to light, usage, privacy, and energy, combined with the discovery of treasures spanning from classic, exotic, time-worn, or her artful ability to masterfully interfuse multiple styles is equally inspiring, is what inspires and excites Angelica.

“I love to travel and discover the off-the-beaten-path shops, galleries, old estates, and warehouses where I discover cherished small or large piece of history and know I have the perfect home and client for them. If I had unlimited funds I would purchase them and have a large elegant warehouse where they could be admired in wait of their new home. The energy that a well loved antique posses is so uplifting.”

Casa Artista - ANGELICA’S MEXICO GET-A-WAY
Angelica Christi custom designed all furniture pieces. The pallet was chosen based on Angelica's attunement with the reflective colors of the ocean and town below, and her desire for a serene and elegant get-away
Oregon Residence
Attention to Detail - Truly a magical journey.
A 16,000 sq ft. masterpiece that took three years to complete including a sweeping French limestone floating staircase.
Casa Bella -
Where To Begin? …
Seeing beyond what is visible. In this case the 700sq ft cottage from 1936 that many called a tear-down. Angelica saw something entirely different: An existing cottage skewed on the lot that captured a South / West direction of sunrise and sunset. She saw a road that appeared to be a dead-end from the main street that would limit non-neighbor traffic. Angelica saw endless possibilities to create a wonderful relaxed and fun cottage just a block from the beach with the option of purchasing two additional connecting lots.
Create a welcoming home where neighbors and friends would feel casually comfortable.
