Cocktail Party
Cocktail Party
With sweeping views of the Pacific, this Laguna Beach hillside home came with a number of inherited nonconformities that demanded a careful and creative approach to remodeling.
The challenge was to transform the existing structure while maximizing its potential and preserving the approvals tied to its unique conditions. Through thoughtful design, those constraints became opportunities, allowing the home to evolve into something both efficient and expressive.

Tucked into the canyon walls at the end of a quiet street, 648 Canyon View enjoys views over downtown Laguna Beach to the Channel Islands beyond.
The large multi-panel folding door dissolves the corner of the dining room and blurs the boundary between the interior living spaces and the exterior patio.
At the crossroads of the main floor the living room is a perfect shape to enjoy the view.
Anchored against the hillside, the kitchen forms a service spine along the back of the house and enjoys views across the greatroom to the ocean beyond.
The oversized greatroom easily accommodates large gatherings while the tight furniture groupings keep the space intimate.
Open yet office support the modern “work from home” lifestyle while enjoying spectacular ocean views and a visual connection to the living room, dining room, and pool beyond.
Made up of an interconnected office, bedroom, bathroom, closet, and private deck, the master suite is fully integrated into the main living space.
Secluded and private, transformed and renewed. Cocktail Party is a home filled with light and enveloped in views of the hillside and sea. A welcome retreat where working from home is a pleasure, and living is easy.
A pool terrace extends the living space across the site to take advantage of the spectacular ocean view.
