Knowing their lot had idyllic views of the ocean and the canyon, our clients wanted to build a home that would take advantage of its beautiful location. Designed by Brandon Architects with interiors by Denise Morrison, the 5,107 square foot home has an open floor plan throughout the three levels of the home, with five bedrooms, five bathrooms, a three-car garage, and amenities such as an elevator, wine room, and a butler’s pantry off the kitchen.

Recent empty nesters, our clients wanted the style of their home to be an infusion of modern architecture with sophisticated, vintage décor, with a natural incorporation of the colorful antiques they had collected from their travels. With expansive stretches of glass on the windows, doors, and stair handrails, and with rich textures from the organic elements brought in, the home embodies warm, modern design.

The staircase is an especially unique feature of the home and blends the set of stairs from the foyer with the main staircase that connects all three levels of the home. The stairwell also showcases a unique lighting feature which required technical precision to achieve. At certain places on the walls the tiles concave outward to create recessed pockets where light fixtures were installed, resulting in cross-shaped glows of light throughout the stairwell.
