Set one row behind the Strand, the home draws the atmosphere of Hermosa Beach upward through a vertical sequence of spaces. A central shaft carries coastal light through the home, leading from shaded lower rooms to open living areas and rooftop terraces facing the Pacific. Breeze-block screens filter the California sun, street-facing hedges create privacy, and sand-toned finishes reflect the nearby shoreline. Each floor captures a different fragment of ocean, horizon, and sea breeze.
