This warm and spacious home provides a well-balanced combination of slick traditional architecture with clean Mediterranean details. The exterior facade includes a colored plaster design and curvilinear reminiscent of Greek architecture. This structure is balanced with a new outdoor covered sitting area apt to entertain as an outdoor space or as an extension of the adjacent living areas. Designed with entertainment in mind, the open floor plan allows visibility from the kitchen through the dining room, living room, outdoor fireplace seating area and beyond the deck to the ocean views. 

“Luis’s eye for simplicity but unique look and feel was exactly what we were looking for in our very condensed community of houses in this beach town. As first-time remodelers, he remained patient but steadfast with us, making sure we didn’t veer off from our vision. We love our house, its design, functionality, and uniqueness. Thank you so much Luis!” — Pearl and Greg Bonanni

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

Sliding glass doors open completely to the outdoor living spaces, maximizing the quality of the indoor/outdoor living experience. High vaulted ceilings and an inverted floor plan mirror the drama of the forest and ocean views from every room.
