Tammy Randall Wood is the founder and principal designer of Interior Archaeology, a full-service interior architecture and luxury interior design firm based in Agoura Hills, Cornell, in the greater Los Angeles area. Featured in Architectural Digest, House Beautiful, Luxe Interiors + Design, and other leading publications, the studio has spent more than 20 years shaping refined residential interiors across Calabasas, Malibu, Westlake Village, Thousand Oaks, Montecito, Santa Barbara, Los Angeles, and for clients nationwide. With an NCIDQ Certificate and ASID membership, Tammy specializes in architectural detailing, interior architecture, millwork design, renovations, furnishings, custom homes, and ground-up transformations — guided by a single conviction: a beautiful room should reshape how a person lives in it.

The Storytelling Philosophy Behind Tammy Randall Wood's Interior Design

Long before she ever set foot in a design studio, Tammy Randall Wood was learning to read the language of place. Raised in Los Angeles, she spent part of her childhood on film sets around the world alongside her father, an action director and stuntman, where ancient ruins, foreign marketplaces, and the architecture of distant cultures became her earliest education in how environments tell stories. That upbringing left her with an instinct that still defines her interior design work across Los Angeles and Southern California today: authentic materials are not decorative flourishes but the very foundation of how a space makes a person feel.

She distilled that instinct into a philosophy she calls Creating Noble Spaces®. To Tammy Randall Wood, a Noble Space® has nothing to do with opulence or expense. It is, instead, a modern, organic, and highly personal environment layered with craftsmanship, function, vintage warmth, and timeless California sophistication — one that captures the essence of its owner's tastes, aspirations, and story. It is a deceptively simple idea that asks a great deal of a designer, because it requires listening as much as decorating.

This is why every project at Interior Archaeology begins not with a mood board but with a conversation. The goal is to understand the rhythms of a household before a single finish is selected, ensuring that the residential interior design that follows feels less like a style imposed and more like a truth uncovered. For homeowners throughout the US — with a concentration of projects in the Los Angeles area, from Calabasas, Hidden Hills, and Lake Sherwood to Malibu, Montecito, Santa Barbara, and the West Side — that process is the foundation of everything the firm delivers.

What Kind of Projects Does Interior Archaeology Take On?

Interior Archaeology is a full-service interior architecture and luxury interior design firm that handles the complete range of residential projects, from focused single-room makeovers to extensive architectural remodels and ground-up new construction. Over the course of more than two decades in practice, Tammy Randall Wood and her team have completed projects from coast to coast, working across a remarkable variety of styles, scales, and budgets while collaborating closely with architects, contractors, and fabricators to carry each design from concept through flawless execution.

In practical terms, that means the firm is as comfortable refining the architectural plans and reimagining the interior floor plan and flow of a home still on paper as it is transforming one that has stood for decades. The studio specializes in refined residential interiors, architectural detailing, interior architecture, millwork design, renovations, furnishings, custom homes, and complete ground-up transformations — serving clients in Calabasas, Malibu, Westlake Village, Thousand Oaks, Montecito, Santa Barbara, Los Angeles, and nationwide from its base in Agoura Hills, Cornell, California.

For homeowners across greater Los Angeles searching for a residential interior designer in Calabasas, a luxury interior design firm serving Ventura and Santa Barbara County, or an interior architect with national reach and a distinctly Southern California sensibility, Interior Archaeology brings all of it under one roof.

How Interior Archaeology Approaches a Full-Home Renovation in Los Angeles

What distinguishes Interior Archaeology from many Los Angeles interior design practices is not aesthetic sensibility alone but process. The firm provides full-set construction drawings and integrates digital sketch technology and sophisticated 3D visualization tools, allowing clients to walk through a complete design concept before a single wall is touched. Seeing the finished vision in advance removes the guesswork that so often derails renovations.

That technical prowess pays dividends well beyond the client presentation. Because every detail is resolved visually before construction begins, communication with builders and fabricators becomes far more precise, surprises grow rare, and the finished result reliably matches the rendering. For a full-home renovation in Los Angeles — where dozens of trades and thousands of decisions must align — that precision is the difference between a stressful build and a seamless one.

The approach reflects Tammy Randall Wood's belief that great residential interior design is ultimately an act of stewardship. By front-loading clarity, Interior Archaeology protects both the client's investment and the integrity of the original design vision through every phase of work across the Los Angeles area, Southern California, and beyond.

Interior Archaeology's Signature Southern California Aesthetic

The look that has become Interior Archaeology's calling card is one that, while distinctly Southern California, transcends region and translates to lifestyle — a harmonious blend of modern, organic, and vintage elements that yields interiors feeling simplified, livable, and deeply personal. It is an aesthetic of warmth rather than spectacle, where natural materials, easy light, and a curated sense of history coexist without ever feeling staged. It is the aesthetic that Architectural Digest, House Beautiful, and Luxe Interiors + Design have recognized — and that clients from Malibu to Montecito continue to seek out.

Working from her studio in Agoura Hills, Cornell, California — nestled in the Santa Monica Mountains — Tammy Randall Wood layers texture and patina to create rooms that read as collected over time rather than decorated in a weekend. The result is the kind of effortless sophistication that defines the best of California living — relaxed enough to live in, refined enough to endure. It is residential interior design built for real life in Los Angeles, not for the camera, even as it photographs beautifully.

For clients across Malibu, Calabasas, Thousand Oaks, Westlake Village, Hidden Hills, Lake Sherwood, Montecito, Santa Barbara, and throughout the greater Los Angeles area, Interior Archaeology's signature aesthetic offers something the market rarely delivers: Southern California living at its most considered and most personal.

Tammy Randall Wood's Education, Credentials, and Recognition

Tammy Randall Wood's path to interior design was as unconventional as her upbringing. She first studied Television and Film at California State University, Northridge before pursuing formal design training at Parsons School of Design, one of the most respected design institutions in the world. That dual education — visual storytelling paired with rigorous design fundamentals — continues to shape the cinematic, narrative quality of her interiors throughout Los Angeles and beyond.

Her professional credentials are equally substantial. Tammy Randall Wood holds the NCIDQ Certificate, among the highest professional accreditations in the interior design field, and maintains active membership in both the American Society of Interior Designers (ASID) and The Institute of Classical Architecture and Art (ICAA).

The studio's work has been featured in Architectural Digest, House Beautiful, and Luxe Interiors + Design — publications that cover only the most distinguished residential design practices in the country. Taken together, these credentials and editorial recognitions place Tammy Randall Wood among a select group of Los Angeles interior design professionals whose work is grounded in both classical training and contemporary accreditation — a combination that reassures clients undertaking significant residential investments throughout Southern California, from Agoura Hills and the Conejo Valley to Malibu, Montecito, Santa Barbara, and beyond.
