Panorama Home

When the Woolsey Fire tragically burned down our clients’ 1980s-built tract home in Malibu, the silver lining was the opportunity to take full advantage of the site, a knoll with 180-degree views over Zuma and Broad beach. In designing the new residence for a family of three, we honored the context by prioritizing simplicity, creating an elongated block with an indoor/outdoor scheme that provides myriad sight lines to the Pacific Ocean. Living spaces on the ground floor connect to a yard with a pool, and a row of four beds on the second level open onto a deck with sweeping views. Rectangular in form with flat roofs and extended eaves, the home is a reserved expression of International Style.
