Site Visit Snapshots: Laguna Beach Contemporary

Construction at our project site in Mystic Hills, Laguna Beach is making progress, and recent photos highlight details taking shape and materials coming together for a glimpse of the completed contemporary home to come in the next few months.

Clean lines and minimalist architectural massing allow the beautiful views to take center stage, with coastal canyon vistas giving way to a perfectly framed vignette of the pacific ocean.

At the main living space and open kitchen, walls of multi-slide doors open to the private infinity pool and koi pond perched on the sloping site, highlighting a dramatic display of natural landscape and topography.

Throughout the interior, the height of the spaces is accentuated by a ceiling reveal detail that gives the appearance of a floating plane overhead, while natural materials including silver limestone and textured wood provide movement and a sense of scale at the open plan.

These shades of warm grey stone and wood tones are illuminated by the setting sun, providing the ideal backdrop for the water element that stretches the length of the rear elevation.

A cedar and metal awning with clerestory windows above highlights the horizontality of the design, while functionally moderating light and solar heat gain at the interior.

Cedar and limestone are also utilized at the street facing elevation and approach, providing for continuity between interior and exterior finishes. Landscaping and additional water elements at the floor plane will frame the entry walkway and offer a hint of the stunning water-framed views to come once inside...

We look forward to sharing more updates as these elements take shape… in the meanwhile, revisit previous project posts and design imagery here at MYD blog.
