Just off Abbott Kinney in Venice, the Beach House is tucked away off an alley at the rear of the owner's house. Going as tall as possible the bedroom and upper deck has clear views of the beach community. The living room ceiling exposes the doug fir structure in a clear expression conveying simple beach living. The house is clad in a shaggy cement panel with verticals and subtle hot red highlights (inspired by Paul Smith). Large windows and exposed wooden structure makes the space feel warm and modern.
