A dedicated countertop adjacent to the stacked washer and dryer provides an essential landing area for laundry baskets, simplifying sorting, folding, and transferring clothes while improving the room's overall workflow. This thoughtfully planned workspace enhances everyday functionality and demonstrates how intentional space planning elevates even the most practical household tasks. To complement the existing gray ceramic flooring and black stainless steel washer and dryer, aged pewter cabinet hardware was selected for its timeless appeal and understated sophistication. The warm metallic finish adds depth and refinement while creating a cohesive material palette that balances contemporary appliances with classic detailing. Durability and ease of maintenance were equally important design considerations. The countertop material was extended seamlessly up the wall to create a matching backsplash, resulting in a clean, uninterrupted surface that is both elegant and highly practical. This integrated approach protects the walls from everyday wear, simplifies cleaning, and reinforces the tailored, custom aesthetic that defines a thoughtfully designed luxury laundry room.

Our clients are seasoned home renovators. Their Malibu oceanside property was the second project JRP had undertaken for them. After years of renting and the age of the home, it was becoming prevalent the waterfront beach house, needed a facelift. Our clients expressed their desire for a clean and contemporary aesthetic with the need for more functionality. After a thorough design process, a new spatial plan was essential to meet the couple’s request. This included developing a larger master suite, a grander kitchen with seating at an island, natural light, and a warm, comfortable feel to blend with the coastal setting. Demolition revealed an unfortunate surprise on the second level of the home: Settlement and subpar construction had allowed the hillside to slide and cover structural framing members causing dangerous living conditions. Our design team was now faced with the challenge of creating a fix for the sagging hillside. After thorough evaluation of site conditions and careful planning, a new 10’ high retaining wall was contrived to be strategically placed into the hillside to prevent any future movements. With the wall design and build completed — additional square footage allowed for a new laundry room, a walk-in closet at the master suite. Once small and tucked away, the kitchen now boasts a golden warmth of natural maple cabinetry complimented by a striking center island complete with white quartz countertops and stunning waterfall edge details. The open floor plan encourages entertaining with an organic flow between the kitchen, dining, and living rooms. New skylights flood the space with natural light, creating a tranquil seaside ambiance. New custom maple flooring and ceiling paneling finish out the first floor. Downstairs, the ocean facing Master Suite is luminous with breathtaking views and an enviable bathroom oasis. The master bath is modern and serene, woodgrain tile flooring and stunning onyx mosaic tile channel the golden sandy Malibu beaches. The minimalist bathroom includes a generous walk-in closet, his & her sinks, a spacious steam shower, and a luxurious soaking tub. Defined by an airy and spacious floor plan, clean lines, natural light, and endless ocean views, this home is the perfect rendition of a contemporary coastal sanctuary.
