Oak Residence
A few blocks from the water in Manhattan Beach, Oak is planned for views, daily ease, and privacy. The architecture stays low and assured, with long roof lines, generous glazing, and warm interiors that open to a protected courtyard. Kitchen, dining, and living align to the terrace so the pool and garden read as an extension of the home. Practical routes and storage are tucked away to keep the main rooms uncluttered and serene.

Kitchen
The kitchen is bright and tailored for daily use and easy hosting. A waterfall island in book-matched Calacatta stone anchors the room, paired with warm oak cabinetry and matte taupe uppers. The slab backsplash carries the veining across the walls for a clean, continuous look. A professional range and integrated refrigeration handle service, while a brushed-brass mixer and details add a soft glow. The plan opens to dining and the family room, with large sliders to the courtyard so cooking and entertaining flow outdoors.

Bedroom
The bedroom pairs height and calm with soft light and warm wood tones. A vaulted ceiling lifts the space while pale walls and matte flooring create a serene balance. Textured wood furniture and woven rugs add natural depth without distraction. The layout leaves generous breathing room around the bed, with subtle details, tailored drapery, sculptural lamps, and art in neutral hues, keeping the atmosphere refined yet personal. It’s a space designed for rest, privacy, and quiet style

Bathroom
The bathroom combines clean geometry with subtle warmth. A freestanding tub sits against a chevron-patterned accent wall, balanced by large marble tiles that bring light and calm to the space. Soft bronze fixtures carry through on the vanity, tub, and shower, adding a refined metallic note that complements the natural palette. The design feels open yet private, with seamless glass, matte finishes, and thoughtful lighting that create a sense of quiet indulgence.

Walnut Residence
A bright South Bay home shaped for relaxed entertaining. Clean, warm interiors open to the garden through wide glass, with a calm primary suite finished like a private retreat.
