John Sofio of Built Inc. is the visionary behind the Mon Ami space, aiming to embrace the majestic escape of the Mediterranean experience. The award-winning architect designer transports the intimate space with smooth stucco walls painted in warm two-tones of sage green and neutral cream whites, cedar and warm mahogany woodwork, lush Mediterranean inspired landscaping and elegant furnishings. Sofio—who also designed hotspot such as The Nice Guy, Delilah and The Peppermint Club—flawlessly styles both interior and exterior with scaled proportionally flanked vignettes with modern fabrics that capture the feeling of high style while the rooms are further adorned in sheer soft curtains and warm glowing lights.  

“Along with John Sofio’s design, we are excited to bring a true Mediterranean ambiance and experience to Los Angeles,” adds Negahban. “Our goal for Mon Ami is to have everyone feel like they’ve escaped to a place off the coast of the sea with its aesthetics, music, cocktails and memorable menu.”
