Bright Ideas, Bold Execution: A Palms Remodel That Balances Light and Function

James Carter

Procurement Manager

In the heart of LA’s Palms neighborhood, a dated bungalow got a transformative upgrade courtesy of Rhodium Construction Inc. What started as a tight, low-ceilinged home evolved into a bright, open, and highly functional space — all wrapped in under 12 months. With GoSource handling material procurement, the team delivered custom-level finishes without blowing the timeline or the budget.

Project Overview

Located on Biona Drive, this single-story residence was bursting with potential but bogged down by outdated interiors and dark, compartmentalized spaces. The homeowners wanted a modern layout with plenty of natural light — and Rhodium Construction delivered. Raising the ceilings, introducing an open concept plan, and adding multiple skylights brought both literal and architectural lightness to the home.

With a tight schedule and ambitious finish goals, the team turned to GoSource to source critical materials that would elevate the design without inviting delays.

Solution & Process

From day one, GoSource collaborated with Rhodium Construction to identify lead time risks and streamline procurement. We supplied wide-plank engineered flooring, quartz countertops, premium tile, and designer-grade plumbing and electrical fixtures. Our sourcing team ensured hardware and finish packages matched the minimalist design vision while hitting budget targets.

Coordinating directly with vendors, GoSource minimized delivery gaps — meaning Rhodium could build with confidence, phase after phase. Every detail, from sleek black faucets to textural backsplash tiles, arrived on time and ready to install.

Raised ceilings and strategic skylights breathe life into the main living space, anchored by warm-toned hardwood flooring.

Quartz countertops, matte black hardware, and soft-close cabinetry create a sleek but inviting culinary hub.

Quartz countertops with dual undermount sinks, porcelain tile flooring, and a frameless glass shower lined with large-format charcoal tile and matte black fixtures complete the clean, modern aesthetic.

The reimagined layout connects living, dining, kitchen, and outdoor areas into one cohesive space, perfect for modern family living and effortless entertaining.
