This Modern Family Home in Laguna Beach Keeps a Low Profile

This latest project from Ehrlich Yanai Rhee Chaney Architects is in the form of a discreet modern home in Laguna Beach. With a 11-foot height limit imposed by the homeowner’s association, the house was built on a series of horizontal floating planes which are supported on stone masses, wood walls and slender steel columns. The home includes a home office, guest bedroom and children’s bedrooms which all open onto the central courtyard which features an outdoor kitchen, dining area and koi pond. Moreover, the master suite is situated high enough for an amazing view over the swimming pool and of the ocean. Finally, oversized sliding glass doors showcased throughout the house create an indoor/outdoor living space making this a house of dreams.
