Manhattan Beach
A house on The Strand takes salt, sun and wind on every surface from the day it is finished. So coastal finishes are picked for how they wear, not only for how they look when the scaffolding comes down.
Our Manhattan Beach project is a beachfront house by KAA Design, built by Baldwin Construction, with interiors by Tim Clarke. It rises out of a berm of sea grasses. Inside are cedar ceilings, an indoor lap pool and a spiral stair in a planted court, and timber louvers open whole rooms to the beach.
Cedar, concrete and timber set the palette. The painted surfaces sit between them and have to hold a clean line against each one.
Ocean Home featured the house in its August/September 2020 issue, with photography by Manolo Langis. Near the water, exteriors and stucco matter as much as Level 5 interiors and specialty surfaces. To arrange a site walk in Manhattan Beach, call the office or send the form below. We often start with the drawings.
