Changing of the Guard
The Pabian Residence hasn’t changed hands since it was built in 1961. The house was acquired in 2022 with the original details largely intact, but the materials and systems in the house had been neglected for years.
With the help of architect and restoration expert Cory Buckner, all planned alterations were carefully decided upon to keep the original footprint of the home, while restoring the materials and fitting it with modern systems, appliances and smart features.
The restoration was a slow process, taking over a year to complete. The home now exudes a sense of calm and serenity making it the perfect canvas for living, working and entertaining.
A 1961 A. Quincy Jones residence, thoughtfully restored to honor its original design while incorporating modern technology and conveniences.
A. Quincy Jones designed the house in 1961, and it never changed hands. For more than sixty years it stayed with its original owners, which is why so many of its original details survived intact and hardly anyone knew about the house, even architect and historian Cory Buckner.
The house was acquired in 2022. The architecture was all there, but the materials and systems had been neglected for years, and every room needed work. We kept the original footprint, restored the original materials, and fitted modern systems, appliances, and smart features.
Today the residence is both a home and a backdrop for photography, film, and television, and it’s available for shoots, stays, and events.
