5,000 sf, 5 bed, 5 bath

On a panoramic site in the Palisades, this home was conceived as a place of calm, connection, and restoration for a couple rebuilding after the 2025 fires. Designed to thrive in this coastal environment, the home combines resilience strategies with wellness principles, creating an artful retreat that feels both protected and opena foundation for a new era of living.

Inspired by the arc of Santa Monica Bay, a sculptural roof plane unifies the design and extends outward to frame views, provide shade, and blur the boundary between indoors and out. Operable window walls welcome fresh air and daylight, while gentle curves form spaces that feel intuitive and serene. Every room is oriented toward the ocean, sky, and mountains, where ever-changing marine conditions and shifting light animate the home through the day.

Natural materials, circadian lighting, and carefully choreographed transitions between light and shadow craft an environment that engages all the sensesquietly promoting natural sleep rhythms, easing stress, and renewing energy.

Palisades Modern is a setting for family life that enhances well-being and elevates the experience of everyday living. Rooted in its landscape and oriented toward the horizon, it offers a lasting sense of hope and belonging.

Professional Reviews

“I interviewed four architecture firms and chose dSPACE because I was impressed with their ability to think through a complex project and simplify it. And, most importantly, because dSPACE had passion and were capable. I'm not a typical client because of my background in real-estate and construction -- I was building a team, and it worked extremely well. My project started as a raw space on the top floor of a condominium high-rise that was not designed to be a stand-alone apartment. There were mechanical and structural challenges, but it had some of the best bones in the city and I didn't want to pass that up. There were no financial surprises and that was delightful. I was trying to stick to a relatively modest budget. I know that in this type of project there is really no such thing, but we were able to deliver the project for less than 30% of my neighbor (who had a similar raw space). That difference really did come down to the thoughtful and innovative design that dSPACE delivered.”
