Some people fill rooms. 
We discover the worlds within them.

Home with a need for beauty and an appetite for expression

A kitchen with a tiled backsplash, white cabinetry, and two pendant lights hanging above a kitchen island. There is a vase with flowers on the counter near a window, and warm sunlight streams through the window onto the cabinets.
 

Zelda was built on a lifelong sensitivity to the way environment shapes us and the belief that space is never passive.

 
 

Some clients arrive with a folder full of references.

Others come to us with nothing but fragments collected from a life well-lived.

Whether it be restoring an early 20th-century estate or showcasing a collection of photographs passed down through generations, our work is to read what already exists within you and alchemize it into a place you call home.

That is where Zelda begins.

From conception to final installation, we guide a limited number of custom homes, historic rehabilitations, and furnishing projects with exacting taste, technical fluency, and first-class care.

Home doesn’t simply reflect you, it reveals the spectacular nature of who you are within.

Meet the Founder

Alessandra Lopez is an interior designer, historic preservation advocate, and artist whose work is driven by the desire to keep history alive through preservation, to build new homes with wisdom and care from the past, and to use decor as a form of self expression and communication.

Before entering the world of design, Alessandra worked in real estate development, serving as project manager on dozens of multi-million-dollar projects throughout Los Angeles. Her no-nonsense approach and ability to streamline complex processes continue to shape her work today, allowing her to manage major design projects with clarity and efficiency.

An artist at heart, Alessandra is professionally trained in traditional darkroom photography processes. Her work has been featured in local art shows, museums, and publications, and in private galleries across California. With an emphasis on documentary storytelling, she has the natural skill of looking at situations from afar and finding the magic within the details.

She is an active member within her communities and currently serves on the Arts, Culture, and Historic Preservation Commission for the City of Azusa, sits on the Education Committee for Pasadena Heritage, and is a Leadership Boot Camp alumna with the LA Conservancy.

The environments we inhabit have a direct influence on our awareness, perception, and sense of self.

We curate each home to embody our client’s tastes and style in ways that periods, personalities, and materials engage in conversation. Our interiors share a signature of eclecticism, playfulness, quality, and a bit of charm.

xoxo, Zelda

Beautiful places don't just happen. They emerge from context and craft.

We take on a limited number of projects each year to preserve the level of attention, discretion, and creative depth each home deserves.

If you are building, restoring, or reimagining your home the process begins here.
