The 1930s-era Tudor home fit right into its historic neighborhood, but the family couldn't fit all it needed for this decade inside—a larger kitchen, a functional dining room, a home office, energy efficiency. Photography by Morgan Howarth.

The house and swimming pool were designed to take full advantage of the magnificent and idyllic setting. A custom, Nutmeg Round retaining wall was built to raise and level the property and keep the swimming pool close to the home. A vanishing edge runs over 40ft along the full length of the pool and gives the illusion of dropping into the wetlands below. The pools is surrounded by an expansive, earth color Sahara Granite deck and equipped with an automatic cover. Phil Nelson Imaging

Rather than starting with an outcome in mind, this 1,400 square foot residence began from a polemic place - exploring shared conviction regarding the concentrated power of living with a smaller footprint. From the gabled silhouette to passive ventilation, the home captures the nostalgia for the past with the sustainable practices of the future. While the exterior materials contrast a calm, minimal palette with the sleek lines of the gabled silhouette, the interior spaces embody a playful, artistic spirit. From the hand painted De Gournay wallpaper in the master bath to the rugged texture of the over-grouted limestone and Portuguese cobblestones, the home is an experience that encapsulates the unexpected and the timeless.

Storybook-style architecture was created in Hollywood in the early 1900s and has materialized sporadically ever since throughout Southern California . This home has taken that theme to a level seldom seen. The sweeping lines of the shingle-pattern slate roof coupled with turrets, shuttered windows, and exterior stone, bring this storybook fantasy to life. Gracing the coastal bluff in Corona del Mar, this unique home has a chef-style kitchen with great room, private study, dedicated theater, recreation/exercise room, separate guest quarters, and all the luxurious finishes befitting a home of this stature. Easy access throughout the house is achieved by a 4-stop elevator. Dual parking garages, one on grade plus a subterranean garage, accommodate a multi-generational family’s needs Shorecliff Community Corona del Mar, CA Eric Figge Photography
