VENICE BEACH HOUSE

The AB design team blended the modern rear addition with the traditional, existing structure at the street front of the Venice Beach House. The client’s desire for an indoor/outdoor dining room led to the home’s signature feature of operable, floor-to-ceiling bi-folding glass doors that, when open, create an open-air atmosphere while allowing for common areas to engage with exterior spaces. 

AB design studio creates world-class residential design that often blur the line between the indoor environment and the natural surroundings. We consistently explore the possibilities of the indoor | outdoor design opportunity in residential design. Large Openings, Sliding Glass Panels, Pivoting Walls, Doors and Windows allow us to access the natural setting of the site and landscape. We strive to create seamless transitions between the indoor spaces and outdoor spaces; this allows the residents to transform their experience of living as they pass gracefully with-in and with-out nature. Our comprehensive design approach opens us up to explore the entirety of our residential properties; a space for living can be created and discovered in many forms and configurations along boundaries, between structures, under trees, around corners and adjacent to traditionally encapsulated living functions
