New custom estate home situated on two and a half, full walk-street lots in the Sand Section of Manhattan Beach, CA.

Every remodeling project presents its own unique challenges. This client’s original remodel vision was to replace an outdated kitchen, optimize ocean views with new decking and windows, updated the mother-in-law’s suite, and add a new loft. But all this changed one historic day when the Woolsey Fire swept through Malibu in November 2018 and leveled this neighborhood, including our remodel, which was underway. Shifting to a ground-up design-build project, the JRP team worked closely with the homeowners through every step of designing, permitting, and building their new home. As avid horse owners, the redesign inspiration started with their love of rustic farmhouses and through the design process, turned into a more refined modern farmhouse reflected in the clean lines of white batten siding, and dark bronze metal roofing. Starting from scratch, the interior spaces were repositioned to take advantage of the ocean views from all the bedrooms, kitchen, and open living spaces. The kitchen features a stacked chiseled edge granite island with cement pendant fixtures and rugged concrete-look perimeter countertops. The tongue and groove ceiling is repeated on the stove hood for a perfectly coordinated style. A herringbone tile pattern lends visual contrast to the cooking area. The generous double-section kitchen sink features side-by-side faucets. Bi-fold doors and windows provide unobstructed sweeping views of the natural mountainside and ocean views. Opening the windows creates a perfect pass-through from the kitchen to outdoor entertaining. The expansive wrap-around decking creates the ideal space to gather for conversation and outdoor dining or soak in the California sunshine and the remarkable Pacific Ocean views.

A combination of beautiful rustic urns were chosen to feature amongst the simplicity of the modern white planters adding interest and charm. The Cloud Camellia tree is a focal point from inside and out. All pots have been irrigated on a timer.

The lofted library overlooks the great room and is located at the top of the staircase. This restful area extends down the hall where there is another bank of shelving across from a deep set window seat. Nothing was overlooked when the homeowner drew up these plans!

Ideally situated next to a lush preserve with incredible views on the south side, all we had to add was a metal fence. The north side is next to another home, so we planted clumping bamboo to create an entirely private oasis. We picked Graceful Bamboo. Bambusa textilis 'Gracilis' might very well be the most elegant and appropriate landscaping bamboo for suburban yards. It's slim profile and elegant posture makes it ideal for tight spaces. With little lower branching and very erect posture, this plant has it all! With a height of under 30ft, this bamboo can grow under most power lines, yet still block the view of a two story home next door. By far, the most popular clumping bamboo in Florida, where many people have seen it planted at Disney.
