Pressed Juicery CEO Hayden Slater is known for his obsessive attention to detail, a trait evident in his renovation of a Belgian-inflected ‘50s Venice bungalow. Slater's hands-on approach included learning CAD to design plaster walls, meticulously placing bathroom hardware, and overseeing every detail of his bleached French oak floors. Despite working closely with his father and brother, who were also contractors, Slater’s perfectionism led to occasional tension. His aim was to create a minimalistic, artful space that contrasts with his former loft’s busyness, inspired by the serene designs of Aman resorts. Slater embraced a minimalist philosophy, letting go of excess items and focusing on the intrinsic value of each piece. His approach resulted in a strikingly clean and austere home, reflecting his desire to simplify while still maintaining a deeply personal and aesthetically unique environment.
