For as typically as we’ve loved a tuna sandwich and vinegar shrub within the courtyard of Gjusta, it was solely lately that we got here throughout Vitorrja, the primary lodge from the Gjelina Group behind each Gjusta and Gjelina in Los Angeles. Regardless of its location one block from the boardwalk and seashore in Venice, Vitorrja is decidedly non-beachy with a design impressed by the understated interiors of Japanese Europe, the utility of conventional boarding homes, and the refined high quality of personal lodges. The lodge is known as after founder Fran Camaj’s Albanian aunt Vitorrja who grew up in Montenegro along with his mom Gjelina, and aunt Gjusta. The fashion relies on the thought of what Vitorrja’s home may appear like at present: classic lighting, walnut accents, mohair sofas, and oil work. Right here’s a glance inside.
