Welcome to Studio Ten Ten, the interiors division of CitrusMelon

Where thoughtful design meets timeless craftsmanship. Founded by Patrick Thornton, Studio Ten Ten is built on a lifelong passion for architecture, interiors, and the art of storytelling through space.

More than just a design studio, Studio Ten Ten is a living expression of form and function. It’s an immersive environment where ideas move seamlessly from concept to reality, reflecting balance, flow, and refinement principles. Every detail—from material selection to custom furnishings—contributes to a larger narrative of how people experience and engage with space.

As an extension of CitrusMelon’s creative process, Studio Ten Ten brings together brand identity, design strategy, and product development to craft cohesive, intentional environments. Whether hosting clients, developing new concepts, or pushing the boundaries of spatial design, the studio remains a cornerstone of a practice deeply rooted in storytelling, artistry, and functionality.

Design Philosophy

At Studio Ten Ten, we believe in crafting spaces that are:

Timeless: Interiors should age beautifully, balancing historic elements with modern livability.
Functional: Every detail is designed with purpose and flow in mind.
Curated: Each piece is thoughtfully selected or custom-made, from furniture to art.
Immersive: Spaces should tell a story, evoking emotion, elegance, and ease.

Patrick Thornton’s design background.

Growing up in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, steps from the world-renowned Cranbrook Academy of Art, I was immersed in a culture of exceptional design from an early age. My grandparents—avid collectors and stewards of historic homes, gardens, and art—instilled in me an appreciation for interior spaces that tell a story. Summers spent in Short Hills, NJ, at family lake homes, and traveling extensively exposed me to generational interiors—homes designed to be lived in, to create memories, and to evolve over time.

I studied Interior Architecture and Entrepreneurial Business at Columbia College Chicago, where I developed an approach that merges spatial planning, functional design, and architectural structure. During this time, I worked at Saks Fifth Avenue, integrating across multiple roles within the company and further shaping my multi-hyphenated perspective and expertise in luxury markets.

From designing branded interiors for advertising agencies to spending ten years in California (Los Angeles & San Francisco) working in high-end furniture manufacturing and commercial interiors, my work has helped shape the understanding and business of designing spaces for some of the world’s most influential brands. Projects for Nike, Chanel, GOOP, Interscope Records, Snap, Uber, and OXO have led to celebrated, award-winning interiors that seamlessly reflect the essence of each brand through materiality, furniture, and environmental design.

Design to Life.

Client resources for project planning

This is Studio Ten :)

Century Plaza Condo—Gut Renovation

2 Bedrooms | 2 Bathrooms | 2,700 sq. ft.
Century Plaza, Century City, Los Angeles

Studio Ten Ten led this two-year design-build process, guiding the client through every phase, from design concept to contractor and vendor selection, project management, and interior execution. The goal was to honor the retro-modern aesthetic of the iconic Century Plaza property (built in 1976) while creating a timeless, sophisticated home that seamlessly integrates the client's family art and furniture collection.

The client, the great-granddaughter of a renowned Los Angeles architect, wanted a space that remained true to the building’s mid-century roots while incorporating modern functionality. The result is a clean, livable interior that embraces minimalist details, natural materials, and a refined, warm aesthetic.

Design Highlights

Maximizing Space & Light: We incorporated mirrored surfaces throughout to enhance depth, reflect light, and subtly tie into a 1970s-inspired design.
Master Bathroom (325 sq. ft.) – A his-and-hers layout, with his side temporarily converted into a spa and gym, while hers features a walk-in shower, floating vanities, and full mirrored walls to create an immersive, reflective experience.
Kitchen Transformation
- Retained and restored a Sub-Zero refrigerator original to the home.
- Installed professional-grade stacked ovens and a hidden appliance/coffee bar.
- Designed a waterfall island with desert silver quartz countertops.
- Custom cabinetry made from rough-cut Italian oak panels with a mirrored backsplash.
- Integrated pinhole under-cabinet lighting, concealed within the cabinetry for a clean, wire-free look.
- Lutron smart lighting system throughout the home for seamless control.

This project reflects Studio Ten Ten’s expertise in modernizing historic properties while preserving their original character. The space is both elegant and adaptable, designed to evolve with the client’s lifestyle while maintaining a sense of warmth and architectural integrity.
