CRESCENT BAY

LAGUNA BEACH, CALIFORNIA 2023
We believe the soul of a space should be a reflection of the person who dwells there. In this collaborative project, the owner's appreciation for art, in all its forms, is ever present.
A restauranteur by profession and art collector by passion, she placed great importance on creating an ambiance that was both sophisticated and deeply personal, where every detail reflects her love for creativity .
Our inspiration was to create a living gallery. Beyond the featured works themselves, we translated this intention directly into the design. Infusing function with aesthetic, we incorporated building materials as literal forms of art, ensuring that every element of the space not only serves a purpose but also contributes to the overarching narrative of artistic expression.


The three-dimensional character of the Patagonia slab is so vibrantly evident, it earned a placement as an art installation on the wall.

As a juxtaposition to the powerful aspect of the stone, we used sensual materials and forms. Feminine curves create a sculptural island in the center of the space.
Reflecting the island, we brought complementary curves into the living room.

We opened up the floor plan to enable seemless conversation from the kitchen. For this family, cooking is more than essential, it is a way of life and a form of art.
