Orsini Apartments, Los Angeles, California Over the last few years we have seen a transformation of Downtown Los Angeles. From the renovation of the old buildings to the creation of new ones, this continues to be an exciting time for Downtown Los Angeles. Medici, Piero, Visconti and Orsini - these downtown developments have the same Italian villainspired design. On all these projects Gladkov Studios worked together with interior design firm The Design Company and cabinetmakers of Swiss Woodworking, Inc. Our studio worked in Orsini in 3 rooms – Movie Theatre, Virtual Bowling Room and Karaoke Lounge.
