Set high above a prominent corner in Manhattan Beach’s Hill Section, the home rises from a series of sloping gardens that create privacy from the street while opening toward sweeping views of the Pacific.
A reverse floor plan places the primary suite and principal living spaces on the upper level, where thin, soaring rooflines and broad cantilevers are supported by structural walls that taper to a minimal profile.
Near the corner, a two-story marble fireplace forms a bold vertical counterpoint, giving the restrained architecture a moment of material exuberance and a distinct identity.
An open-air entry courtyard and hedge-protected pool terrace extend the home’s private interior world into the landscape without sacrificing its connection to the ocean.
