The First Street Residence embodies the Southern California lifestyle. The home unfolds across three sloping properties with a main house, pool pavilion, and guesthouse. Bright and airy living spaces and panoramic views define the design and the entire estate is woven together with a series of landscaped terraces, water features, and gardens.

Sanctuary is a private oasis nestled into a hillside beach community overlooking the Santa Monica Bay. This warm contemporary home strikes a balance between architectural sculpture and a nurturing cocoon where the seamless blend of indoor and outdoor spaces support a distinctive lifestyle.

On a dramatic hillside terrace high above the LA basin, the architecture at Balance Hill reaches out to claim the striking views. While the more private functions are anchored within the stone base, moving from west to east, the public spaces of this home become progressively lighter and glassier. A dramatic living and dining pavilion perched above the gardens celebrates the view, the climate and the landscape.

The open living spaces, exquisite surfaces and luxurious furnishings are combined to create a casual coastal retreat.
