This multidimensional Laguna Beach indoor-outdoor estate stands as a testament to the collaborative effort that brought this meaningful and unique home to life. The client's desire was to do more within the home's inner pavilion offers maximal privacy for indoor-outdoor living.
Floor-to-ceiling glass floods the kitchen and living room with natural light. The ocean views but also create space for outdoor living and entertaining for their family and friends. Situated against Crystal Cove State Park, the home features three separate wings arranged around a central courtyard anchored by an outdoor pool and spa. As for the interior design, the aesthetic evolved from a look inspired by Europe meets Bali meets California to a more expansive approach. The only real directive we were given was to make the space feel good. The aesthetic draws inspiration from everywhere: the raw, rich beauty of California and beyond, timeless design eras, music that stirs the soul, art that tells a story and literature that lingers in the mind.
The fixtures provide a striking contrast to the plastered walls, which are significant design elements themselves, while also delivering the warmth the clients desire. This same level of care and intention extends to every detail-from the custom-designed furniture and beds to the natural stone and wood finishes, plumbing fixtures from Dornbracht and Waterworks, the tranquil spa, bathroom and gym, and even the fully finished garage.
While it's hard to pick favorites, the kitchen holds a special place in the interior designer's heart. The handcrafted wood cabinetry is undoubtedly a top contender, but the custom dining table and credenza captures the spaces character.
