Los Angeles-based architect Mario Romano recently debuted his newest project called The Wave House. With an affinity for natural landscapes, Romano designed the coastal abode in Venice, California to resemble a majestic ocean swell. The two-story property is wrapped in white aluminum skin and stained cedar. It is also comprised of free-flowing spaces, tall windows and meticulously sculpted surfaces that pay homage to the region’s natural surroundings. Notable features include a large front door built from skateboard decks, a cozy family room with a vista of the lot’s immense lawn, a swimming pool as well as an outdoor theatre that spans 11,000-square-feet. All in all, the structure instills a harmonic ambience with its 40-foot undulating lines on its exterior grabbing your attention instantaneously.

Take a look at the photos above and head over to Romano’s official website to view his past projects.
