Situated in the beautiful California Riviera of Pacific Palisades, this Coastal Contemporary home took advantage of the unique aspects of this extraordinary site. The raised porch gives a traditional sense to the entry, with the formal spaces orienting towards the front. Unique application and juxtaposition of diverse materials forge the old and new, while whimsical interior spaces and details give way to elements of surprise. The kitchen and morning room is the core of the plan, overlooking the rear garden and pool, with the family room, play room, and expansive decks orienting toward scenic views, creating a distinctive plan formation. Natural light and volume have a key role in the procession of space.
