The interiors are elegant, with sophisticated, symmetrical details and finishes found throughout the home, such as the decorative wood panels on all of the walls which are completely identical in size, and American black walnut hardwood floors done with a mosaic inlay pattern using African wenge wood in the foyer. The color palette for the home fits the traditional style yet remains contemporary in its design. In the foyer the lacy grids on the front transom exterior steel windows line up perfectly with the window grids on the wine room and glass elevator that are also in the foyer, a design that is very difficult to achieve.

The 30-foot foyer is open to all three stories, with 12-foot ceilings found on the first two levels of the home. In order to achieve these high ceilings and adhere to the Homeowner Association’s rules and the City of Newport Beach’s building height code, the foundation began four feet beneath the ground level, requiring additional engineering to pump out the water below. The design is discreet as the foyer remains at ground level, while the main living area is four feet below the foyer, accessible by a short flight of stairs. The main living space overlooks the yard and harbor waters beyond, and its open concept floor plan includes a bar, a lounge, a great room, a dining room, a kitchen, and a butler’s pantry.
