Friendly knowledgeable and very creative staff > service really good all went perfect with them. . . **★★★★★ — Jacob Herskovits, July 2015** > Top notch company, surpasses the bar by providing excellent professional service without cutting corners. Friendly knowledgeable and very creative staff. **★★★★★ — Rags Custom Furnishings, July 2015** > As a custom furniture manufacturer, I partner with many top designers on their projects, and Hawlie is truly talented! > Hawlie is in meticulous in all aspects of her jobs from specs, sourcing and production, to receiving and installation. She is exceedingly gracious, excited about her work and a consummate pro. > She has a definite point of view as she guides and translates her client’s vision into beautiful, inspired, livable spaces. I appreciate her hard work, organization and strong work ethic. > My team and I look forward to working on many projects with this amazing designer. **★★★★★ — California Mantel & Fireplace, Inc., June 2013** > Their homes have exquisite attention to detail and distinguish themselves from other builders in the immediate area who cut corners. **★★★★★ — MSW Properties, Aug. 2012** > I've hired this company to build two homes for me. One a personal second home and one a spec home. Young, energetic and very perosnable as well as professional. Their contractors are top notch professionals who propose viable solutions to problems rather than doing what's easiest for them. Design features include moving windows after initial framing to maximize views and privacy. Nobody else does this. **★★★★★ — donnarae49, May 2012** > Working with Mike from White Sands Coastal Development Company on the current project--a new three story beach home--is always a good experience in that his priorities are straight: utilize the space and style so there is an easy-living flow, maximize and display every ocean view, stay on budget, come up with innovative creative solutions and treat this home as if it were their own. They are problem solvers not problem makers and they are honest, detail oriented, respectful and yet have non-pretentious communication skills. There is the added benefit of young, technically savy mindsets. ## Selected projects - [Coastal Chic](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/coastal-chic-pj-vj~6866280) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 29 - Description: This row home—the showpiece unit from our multifamily Beach Brownstone—merges a comfortable, coastal aesthetic with a chic urban vibe. The brick throughout this four-bedroom, 3275 square feet unit, carries the thread of classic northeast brownstone from room to room. Natural materials—exposed beams, reclaimed wood, and stone—give the space an earthy, beachy feel. Other notable features include automated window shades, unexpected window seats, artisan light fixtures, a rooftop jacuzzi, and a pass… - [High-End Modern](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/high-end-modern-pj-vj~6866286) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 13 - Description: Built in classic Cape Cod style, this mid-century bungalow harkened back to the days when homes were smaller and southern California beach towns were haunted by artists, Beats, and hippies. Rather than adding square footage they didn’t need, the owners took a design-above-all approach, revamping their forever home with a modern aesthetic, ocean-front views, top-of-the-line finishes, and highly customized furnishings and storage. The end result is a high-end showpiece full of natural stone and se… - [South Bay Coastal Farmhouse](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/south-bay-coastal-farmhouse-pj-vj~6088444) - Location: Manhattan Beach, CA - Photos: 16 - Description: This 5,200-square foot modern farmhouse is located on Manhattan Beach’s Fourth Street, which leads directly to the ocean. A raw stone facade and custom-built Dutch front-door greets guests, and customized millwork can be found throughout the home. The exposed beams, wooden furnishings, rustic-chic lighting, and soothing palette are inspired by Scandinavian farmhouses and breezy coastal living. The home’s understated elegance privileges comfort and vertical space. To this end, the 5-bed, 7-bath (… - [So-Cal Beach Cottage](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/so-cal-beach-cottage-pj-vj~6436292) - Location: Manhattan Beach, CA - Photos: 22 - Description: In Southern California there are pockets of darling cottages built in the early 20th century that we like to call jewelry boxes. They are quaint, full of charm and usually a bit cramped. Our clients have a growing family and needed a modern, functional home. They opted for a renovation that directly addressed their concerns. When we first saw this 2,170 square-foot 3-bedroom beach cottage, the front door opened directly into a staircase and a dead-end hallway. The kitchen was cramped, the living… - [Eclectic Spanish Beach Bungalow](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/eclectic-spanish-beach-bungalow-pj-vj~6088543) - Location: Manhattan Beach, CA - Photos: 10 - Description: The 1,750-square foot Manhattan Beach bungalow is home to two humans and three dogs. Originally built in 1929, the bungalow had undergone various renovations that convoluted its original Moorish style. We gutted the home and completely updated both the interior and exterior. We opened the floor plan, rebuilt the ceiling with reclaimed hand-hewn oak beams and created hand-troweled plaster walls that mimicked the construction and look of the original walls. We also rebuilt the living room fireplac… - [Coastal Transitional](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/coastal-transitional-pj-vj~6490975) - Location: Manhattan Beach, CA - Photos: 18 - Description: Our clients built their Manhattan Beach dream house years ago, but a couple of decades in, the yellow and green palette seemed stale. We brightened the home with new paint and countertops, white oak flooring and updated carpet, custom fixtures and furniture, and new finishes, window treatments, and accessories. For enhanced functionality, we added built-in storage throughout, reupholstered existing furniture and the breakfast nook in performance fabric, and created a custom dining table that sea… - [Quintessential Manhattan Beach](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/quintessential-manhattan-beach-pj-vj~6436280) - Location: Manhattan Beach, CA - Photos: 7 - Description: This was a gut remodel of a 1950’s 3 bedroom, 2 bath, 1200-square-foot home. The main house was composed of two bedrooms with one bathroom, and a separate studio unit with a full bathroom was located in the backyard. The new owners, a family of 4, wanted to remove the studio unit and increase the square footage of the main house to include a new master suite, family room, and powder room while leaving enough space for the possible addition of a pool in the backyard down the road. We also expande… - [Classic Coastal](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/classic-coastal-pj-vj~6134918) - Location: Hermosa Beach, CA - Photos: 16 - Description: This 4,000-square foot home is located in the Silverstrand section of Hermosa Beach, known for its fabulous restaurants, walkability and beach access. Stylistically, it’s coastal-meets-traditional, complete with 4 bedrooms, 5.5 baths, a 3-stop elevator and a roof deck with amazing ocean views. The client, an art collector, wanted bold color and unique aesthetic choices. In the living room, the built-in shelving is lined in luminescent mother of pearl. The dining area’s custom hand-blown chandeli… - [Industrial Farmhouse](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/industrial-farmhouse-pj-vj~6134957) - Location: Hermosa Beach, CA - Photos: 15 - Description: Only two blocks from Hermosa Beach, this 4,600-square foot industrial farmhouse is the perfect space for coastal entertaining. The industrial vibe echoes throughout the 4-bed, 7-bath (counting halves) space; it’s in the interior and exterior metal paneling, the floor-to-ceiling square-paned windows, the built-in-cabinets, the custom millwork, the steel-framed furniture, the whitewashed brick fireplace and the black-painted railings and trim. A 4-stop elevator descends all the way to the 950-squa… - [Spirit of Venice](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/spirit-of-venice-pj-vj~6436254) - Location: Los Angeles, CA - Photos: 11 - Description: A few months after moving into this aging 2200 s.f. 3 bedroom 2 1/2 bath Spanish bungalow, a creative couple decided to renovate to better fit their lifestyle. In phase one, we demo-ed the entire downstairs to create a sunny, open-concept living area with a bar, kitchen, and dining. We also added built-in storage and a powder room, to make the home more functional. When we finished this space, not only did the rooms flow into each other, but the new interior stucco flowed throughout the house. T… - [Santa Barbara Style](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/santa-barbara-style-pj-vj~6134887) - Location: Manhattan Beach, CA - Photos: 16 - Description: We remodeled this 5,400-square foot, 3-story home on ’s Second Street to give it a more current feel, with cleaner lines and textures. The result is more and less Old World Europe, which is exactly what we were going for. We worked with much of the client’s existing furniture, which has a southern flavor, compliments of its former South Carolina home. This was an additional challenge, because we had to integrate a variety of influences in an intentional and cohesive way. We painted nearly every… - [Hollywood Pad](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/hollywood-pad-pj-vj~6088408) - Location: Los Angeles, CA - Photos: 22 - Description: One of two homes of a bicoastal television producer, this penthouse showpiece occupies the top story of a building nestled at the base of the Hollywood Hills. It offers panoramic views of Sunset Strip and mixes one-of-a-kind custom pieces with more casual retail pieces, to create a comfortable, contemporary home. The 2-bed, 2-bath nods to California coastal vibe, while also reflecting its West Hollywood locale. It juxtaposes organic materials—such as a stunning sunburst wood wall covering and a… [See all 12 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/design-build-firms/white-sands-coastal-development-pfvwus-pf~1098953895) ## Ideabooks - [Wish List](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/142679308/list/wish-list) — 1 idea - [The Best Beach Homes From Around the World](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/130341086/list/the-best-beach-homes-from-around-the-world) — 47 ideas - [longfellow](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/28077914/list/longfellow) — 3 ideas - [Myrtle Address](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/28075585/list/myrtle-address) — 2 ideas - [longfełlow](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/27858266/list/longfe-low) — 4 ideas - [Myrtle Doors](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/6617942/list/myrtle-doors) — 11 ideas - [Myrtle Bathroom](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/5393014/list/myrtle-bathroom) — 34 ideas - [Myrtle Bedrooms](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/5392924/list/myrtle-bedrooms) — 9 ideas - [Myrtle Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/5373265/list/myrtle-kitchen) — 43 ideas - [myrtle patio](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/5433825/list/myrtle-patio) — 9 ideas - [mrytle fireplace](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/5748853/list/mrytle-fireplace) — 4 ideas - [Myrtle Shutters](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/12056970/list/myrtle-shutters) — 4 ideas - [beams](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/11785166/list/beams) — 1 idea - [Myrtle Landscape](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/5373299/list/myrtle-landscape) — 12 ideas - [Mytle bar](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/11192964/list/mytle-bar) — 3 ideas - [Myrtle Interior Misc](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/5374545/list/myrtle-interior-misc) — 42 ideas - [myrtle floors](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/5890448/list/myrtle-floors) — 10 ideas - [Myrtle Railings](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/5374525/list/myrtle-railings) — 3 ideas - [Myrtle Exterior](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/5373924/list/myrtle-exterior) — 55 ideas - [Myrtle Pet](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/7345031/list/myrtle-pet) — 2 ideas [See all 26 ideabooks](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/capobiancomichael) ## Community Q&A **Q: Who makes the doors?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: Fleetwood makes the door units. This one is a Norwood 3070 **Q: What is the stone on the fireplace?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: It's a stacking stone we purchased from Imperial Tile in North Hollywood **Q: Lighting** *(in Photo Questions)* The pendants are very cool and different! Would you recall who makes them? Thank you! Beautiful home. A: Hudson Valley is the manufacturer. Haverhill is the collection. We use Hye Lighting in LA. Wonderful staff and they can custom color any fixture. **Q: Love the railing system! Can you tell me where you sourced it?** *(in Photo Questions)* Hi, I was wondering if you could tell me where you got the railing system for this deck and if you know whether it could accommodate a glass panel? Thanks! A: Hi Max. Our siding contractor installed the railing system. A glass system would work, although I would probably use metal and glass as opposed to wood and glass. **Q: What brand and size is the sink?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: It is a 33inch farmhouse sink. Model number EMLF33c **Q: I love the hardware. What is finish name and brand?** *(in Photo Questions)* 117 Crest Drive Project A: Hi! The hardware is a Pewter finish made by Emtek.
