Tartaruga Design Inc. in The Great House Greystone Mansion

Veranda Magazine, the City of Beverly Hills and Friends of Greystone have come together to restore the historic Greystone Mansion Estate. Built between 1927 and 1928, and originally owned by the Doheny family, Greystone has become an architectural icon in Beverly Hills. It is one of the few great family homes in California still standing, and has been fittingly dubbed The Great House.

Twenty-five of the top nationally and internationally renowned designers were handpicked to redesign the interiors and exteriors of the Greystone Estate. Tartaruga Design Inc. was personally selected to showcase their beautiful Bourges Mantel finished in honed Charmot in this unique design collaboration. Proceeds from the event go the Friends of Greystone, a volunteer organization dedicated to preserving Greystone Mansion and Park, for the restoration of Greystone Estate.
