Of note in the nearly 1,000-square-foot master suite are materials and textures that subtly telegraph in the outdoors, a Lazar specialty. Among them: white shiplap and cut stone that extend along the walls and ceiling, and clear past a gallery of windows that let in grand views of Hermosa Beach, blue water and all. “The view is forever,” Lazar points out, explaining that neighboring homes have reached the maximum height at which they can be built. “It can never be taken away.” No matter the room, none of the property’s natural surroundings have been lost on the builder.

In this project Lazar has created another of his hyper-livable top floors—half indoors, half outdoors—that could arguably be the beating heart of the home. A sunny gathering space and gourmet kitchen are gathered under an elevated ceiling. Lined with windows and stocked with gleaming counters, the big room opens onto an equally spacious ocean-view deck that could morph either way: as everyday living space or party central.
