Newport Beach Home

To balance the soaring ceilings, Ron Dayan designed a stone fireplace mantel and over-mantel to rise 11' above the floor. He selected over-scaled furniture to be placed diagonally on new marble floors.

Mediterranean Style Home in Rancho Santa Fe
(#1 Richest Community in the US)

French Royalty Reborn in Beverly Hills Penthouse

This penthouse was purchased completely naked of architectural integrity. Columns, moldings, parquet floors, and marble fireplaces were installed. The antique furniture was purchased on a shopping trip to Atlanta, Georgia.

Opulence In Texas

This foyer was transformed into a palace fit for French Royalty with the application of columns, ornamental moldings, marble floors, crystal chandelier, and museum quality furnishings. The flowers are artificial, imported from Paris.

Palos Verdes Estates

The owners, wine connoisseurs and members of an international wine club, were treated to stone-textured wall, made of plywood and luxurious furnishings watched over by Bacchus and Baccante, weighing at 430 Lb. each.

Beverly Hills Mansion

The value of this prime Beverly Hills property increased by $2,500,000 in just 11 months after Ron Dayan completed this dramatic transformation, while current appraisal shows a whopping $5,200,000 appreciation on investment!

Working with the homeowners to include her love of antiques and his love of all-things-electronic, Dayan magically bridged the 18th with the 21st centuries. With the addition of 1,500 square feet to the interior of the home, Dayan also created a vast new sports and entertainment area. An Italian veranda leads you to the large stone and grass plaza complete with Parisian street lights and benches. The stone Gazebo offers a magnificent view of the rear of the property and the spectacular 30 foot wide waterfall that cascades into the recessed tennis court.

Laguna Niguel Mansion

This newly built estate was lacking one thing- character! The challenge was to ‘dress’ the interior and exterior areas with finishes and furnishings that would transform the structure into a true Mediterranean home, perched on the mountain with a view of the ocean on the horizon.

Nautical Nostalgia On the Beach

Many of the visitors feel a little queasy when entering this "Titanic" inspired Art Deco waterfront condominium in Marina del Rey, California. The nostalgia of sea voyage in the 1930s was captured here, on land.

17th Century Jacobian Recreated for Barry Gibb("The Bee Gees")

Linen-fold wood paneling and hand-hewn timber were composed with authentic period furnishings to bring the majesty of Olde England back to the 20th Century, in England. The wood post's cracks are not a defect...as some have suggested.

Remax Palos Verdes Realty

Piccadilly Designs was commissioned to create a new headquarters for RE/MAX Palos Verdes in a space previously occupied by a bank. The local press described the transformation as: "A bit of Rodeo Drive at the Peninsula Center." And indeed, the glamour Piccadilly Designs achieved was only an illusion; the films used to simulate Birdseye maple and black granite was a trick attributed to Ron Dayan's experience as an art director and set designer for television.

Penny Lane Café, West Hollywood, CA

The storefront windows and street-front patio dining give way to sliding French doors. Ambient and task lighting emanate from the chain- hung wood structure.

The bar features made-to-order wood paneling with embossed grapevine detail.

Gulfstream-II Private Jet

When a successful businessman wanted to save time, he bought this Gulfstream jet, and had it designed to hold his meetings, and entertain clients - in the air. Being an avid art collector presented a challenge of fitting heavy statues on board the jet, which also was decorated to meet with all FAA requirements.
