31st St – Hermosa Beach

This Hermosa Beach residence captures a refined balance between Scandinavian minimalism and the airy, mid-century charm of Palm Springs. Designed to embrace the coastal California light, the home features a series of interconnected spaces defined by thin roof lines, soaring ceilings, and a seamless transition between the interior and the surrounding landscape.

The architecture emphasizes clean, horizontal planes and an open floor plan that allows energy and light to flow effortlessly from one end of the home to the other. Large-scale glazing and thoughtful structural details—such as the distinctive underwater pool window — create a playful yet sophisticated dialogue with the elements.

Inside, a warm and tactile material palette grounds the modern geometry, ensuring the large volumes feel intimate and inviting. By prioritizing transparency and natural ventilation, the design provides a private sanctuary that remains deeply connected to its coastal environment.
