Meet Principal Designer & CEO – Lauren O’Connor
In 2005, Lauren founded Sanctuary with a growing awareness of the interplay between personal wellness and physical surroundings. Since then, she’s proven time and again that a well designed home is capable of changing lives.
“WE APPROACH EACH OF OUR PROJECTS FROM A HOLISTIC POINT OF VIEW, WITH THE UNDERSTANDING THAT THE JOURNEY WE TAKE WITH OUR CLIENTS IS GOING TO HAVE A SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ON THEIR LIVES”
Lauren has installed hundreds of custom kitchens and bathrooms, and has flipped over a dozen homes. While designing a beautiful space is an art, she understands that producing a functional and attractive custom home is also a science that involves technical knowledge and effective collaboration with architects, engineers, builders, and a multitude of vendors and subcontractors. She’s there with her clients every step of the way, lending her calm demeanor and expertise in this creative but very technical endeavor.
In her quest to deliver the concept of home as a living, breathing sanctuary, Lauren encourages the people of Southern California and beyond to appreciate life’s daily rituals: to breathe in the fresh air, feel the warmth of the sun on their faces, enjoy a delicious meal and savor the beautiful place they call home.
