Interiors rooted in history, made effortlessly modern.
For three decades, Annalisa Capurro and Mark Davis have restored the desert's modernist homes and composed interiors that honor how each building was meant to be lived in.
Interiors that are timeless, sustainable, and deeply connected to site
At Capurro + Davis Design we specialize in Mid-century Modern renovations, sensitive historic restorations and contemporary interior design. We craft unique, individualized, client-centered interiors that are timeless, sustainable and deeply connected to site and the building’s original architectural intent. Our services include full-service design, space planning, bespoke joinery & detailing, materials and finishes, permitting support, project management, and guidance from concept to completion.

A portfolio of desert modernism
Concept-driven, and above all client-centered
Annalisa approaches each project with a deep respect for original architectural intent, spatial clarity, and the way people live, work, and engage within a space.
The result is interiors that are sophisticated yet comfortable, rooted in history yet effortlessly contemporary.
Interiors should be authentic, site-specific, timeless, rigorously detailed, and above all client-centered, rather than trend-driven.
