Blue Water

This single-level coastal residence is shaped by expansive views toward Catalina Island and a seamless connection between indoors and out. Designed as a new ground-up build, the home is centered around a generous great room that anchors daily life, with a large kitchen designed for cooking and entertaining flowing seamlessly into indoor-outdoor living areas. Arrival is experienced through a concealed courtyard that acts as a moment of pause—a water-filled forecourt punctuated by stepping pads and a floating olive tree, enclosed by dry-stacked stone walls that evoke a subtle Mediterranean calm. Layered roof forms and refined details give the architecture a quiet sense of rhythm, resulting in a home that feels both intimate and open, composed yet effortless.
