Before + After: Dana Point Modern Beach Cottage

Posted on by Lauren Moss


Photographic Timeline // Completed several years ago, the transformation of this 1950s cottage included an addition of two secondary bedrooms and an expanded primary bedroom at the rear of the home, as well as a complete reconfiguration of the existing square footage in order to maximize function and usability at the compact lot.

Previously featured on Dwell, we’re revisiting this beachside classic and sharing a visual timeline of a project that captures the spirit of socal in summer- a great family home that features modern details, playful materials and contemporary forms.
