MODERN BEACH HOUSE

MODERN BEACH HOUSE

AB design studio created a distinctive beach front home that was sensitive to its surroundings, while also remaining respectfully low-key in both footprint and appearance. The project is designed to take full advantage of scenic beach views, while also maintaining a sense of privacy for the owners.

The large glass façades facing south not only provide views of the ocean and Channel Islands beyond but also create a seamless connection between the interior and exterior spaces. The transparency of the glass blurs the line between public and private areas, allowing natural light to flood the living spaces and creating a sense of openness and expansiveness. This design choice not only enhances the overall aesthetic of the modern beach house but also invites a constant dialogue between the beauty of the ocean front setting and the comfort of the home's interior.
