THE HOUSE ON CORONADO STREET
LAGUNA BEACH, CA
This custom organic modern home in Laguna Beach, California, was built in 2008. The idea was for the architecture to suggest a natural rock formation on the hillside. This was accomplished through the use of non-rectilinear geometries, natural colors, and allowing the architecture to grow from the slope.
​
One enters from a courtyard through a wall of glass into a grand sweeping space which seems to flow unbounded in all directions. Opposite the entrance is a tall atrium with a 30 foot wall of glass, and a lower terrace with a large spa. The family room/kitchen enjoys a broad terrace which one accesses through a 10 foot high disappearing glass door. The lower level contains bedrooms, a play room, and an office.
​
Views are experienced from all rooms and encompass the ocean and beaches to the west, the hills and canyons to the north, and the mountains to the east.
