Rodrigo Vargas Design

Based in Los Angeles, Rodrigo Vargas Design develops multi-family towers and residential interiors defined by sculpted massing voids, intersecting curved facade volumes, and warm, low-profile illumination that highlights contrasting material textures. The portfolio serves as a precise reference when detailing integrated lighting within exterior concrete circulation, carving upper-level portals to soften high-rise silhouettes, or contrasting fine timber slatted ceilings against neutral interior walls.

Open plan dining and kitchen area with polished concrete floors, timber dining set, and sloped slat wood ceiling by Rodrigo Vargas Design.

INTERIORS PHOTOGRAPHY - Rodrigo Vargas

An open-plan residential kitchen and dining space precedent featuring high-contrast cabinetry, polished concrete floors, and a dramatic angled slat timber ceiling.

What we like about this project
The angled ceiling is clad in fine timber slats that contrast sharply against the surrounding flat white walls.

Geometry
Symmetrical open-plan layout featuring a central dining set facing a kitchen island, anchored by a dramatic sloped ceiling plane.
Structural guess
Residential post and beam with rafter roof structure.
Spatial scale
Generous residential open-plan space with a single-story to sloped-vault ceiling height.
Lighting
Even ambient daylight complemented by a slender contemporary brass chandelier over the dining table.
Atmosphere
Clean and bright with warm organic touches from natural timber and brass fixtures.
Environmental context
Modern residential interior with a glimpse of exterior fencing through a low kitchen window.
Spatial experience
A bright, open-plan volume where the eye moves from the tactile foreground timber dining zone into the clean contrast of white cabinetry and dark kitchen volumes.
Composition rhythm
Horizontal alignment of the dining table and bench mirrors the linear rhythm of the ceiling slats above.
