Our clients are seasoned home renovators. Their Malibu oceanside property was the second project JRP had undertaken for them. After years of renting and the age of the home, it was becoming prevalent the waterfront beach house, needed a facelift. Our clients expressed their desire for a clean and contemporary aesthetic with the need for more functionality. After a thorough design process, a new spatial plan was essential to meet the couple’s request. This included developing a larger master suite, a grander kitchen with seating at an island, natural light, and a warm, comfortable feel to blend with the coastal setting. Demolition revealed an unfortunate surprise on the second level of the home: Settlement and subpar construction had allowed the hillside to slide and cover structural framing members causing dangerous living conditions. Our design team was now faced with the challenge of creating a fix for the sagging hillside. After thorough evaluation of site conditions and careful planning, a new 10’ high retaining wall was contrived to be strategically placed into the hillside to prevent any future movements. With the wall design and build completed — additional square footage allowed for a new laundry room, a walk-in closet at the master suite. Once small and tucked away, the kitchen now boasts a golden warmth of natural maple cabinetry complimented by a striking center island complete with white quartz countertops and stunning waterfall edge details. The open floor plan encourages entertaining with an organic flow between the kitchen, dining, and living rooms. New skylights flood the space with natural light, creating a tranquil seaside ambiance. New custom maple flooring and ceiling paneling finish out the first floor. Downstairs, the ocean facing Master Suite is luminous with breathtaking views and an enviable bathroom oasis. The master bath is modern and serene, woodgrain tile flooring and stunning onyx mosaic tile channel the golden sandy Malibu beaches. The minimalist bathroom includes a generous walk-in closet, his & her sinks, a spacious steam shower, and a luxurious soaking tub. Defined by an airy and spacious floor plan, clean lines, natural light, and endless ocean views, this home is the perfect rendition of a contemporary coastal sanctuary.

Stair just off the front entry, turns back over the powder room. The front vestibule has encaustic tile floors and glass door enclosure, letting in light while providing a place to remove wet articles of clothing and preserve the authentic handmade rug.

Diese gewendelte Wangentreppe im Stil des Art-Déco wurde aus Sapelli maßgefertigt und befindet sich in einer Wohnresidenz in Łódź. Die aufwendig gebogenen Treppenwangen tragen das edle Geländer aus Holzbändern. Sie zeigt, dass Art Déco nicht nur durch die Farbe Schwarz und hochglänzende Oberflächen charakterisiert wird. Es ist die Wahl und das Akzentuieren bester Materialien, die diesen Stil prägen.

This almighty Oak staircase was one of our more challenging ones to build and install but we pulled it off! The first hurdle was installing the treads (from the top) onto the central post which was difficult with the extremely heavy 4″ thick solid Oak treads. The staircase was finished off with our custom designed steel hand railing which required a large amount of onsite welding. The result is a staircase that has to be seen in situ to get a sense of its impressive stature! Photo credits: 2020 © Ray Chan Photo, All Rights Reserved

Staircase

This stair is one of our favorites from 2018, it’s truly a masterpiece! Custom walnut rails, risers & skirt with wrought iron balusters over a 3-story concrete circular stair carriage. The magnitude of the stair combined with natural light, made it difficult to convey its pure beauty in photographs. Special thanks to Sawgrass Construction for sharing some of their photos with us to post along with ours.
