Green Interior Design by Jessica Helgerson - Hill House Studio
When homeowners in Rancho San Augustine were ready to renovate, they wisely chose Jessica Helgerson Interior Design. Their green Hill House studio, one of three buildings on the property, provides a private retreat for the couple when entertaining large numbers of guests in the main house. By combining clean lines with rustic charm, Helgerson achieved the client’s vision of “a simple, earthy feel”. The color palette used in the studio relates to the native chaparral and coastline by incorporating “sandy yellows and sagey blue-greens”. Natural pigmented plaster was used throughout. Some of the green details include high performance windows, on demand water heater, certified lumber, recycled wood siding, reclaimed wood beams, floor and cabinetry, non-toxic interior finishes and solar-electric photovoltaic system.
