16th St · Manhattan Beach
Australian Inspired · Contemporary · Remodel

Located on the famed walk streets of Manhattan Beach, this home not only embraces but enhances the indoor-outdoor culture of this community. The open and airy home strikes a balance with surprising privacy details such as the scrim that also makes the facade more dynamic and softer. This balance is repeated in the interior, where the modern spaces retain their individual identity with a well-organized flow from each room and attention to maximizing built-in storage space. This contemporary remodel celebrates the natural sunlight and ocean breezes enjoyed by the walk street lifestyle and is rooted by signature architectural elements such as the stunning staircase and the inviting balconies.

“Luis took on our rather ambitious renovation and transformed our home into a unique, modern Australian masterpiece. Living on a walk street, privacy was as important to us as the outdoor entertaining space, Luis was able to create a home that gave us these things and more… He treated the entire project like he was designing and building it for himself. There was not one moment in the 2 years that it took to complete, that Luis didn’t give 100%.” – Homeowner
