Southern California View Residence

Laguna Beach, California
United States

Using the vanishing point of the horizon viewable throughout this beach house as inspiration, HLB collaborated with the owner, architect, and interior designer to highlight the architecture and art within the home in the most subtle of ways. Recessed lighting throughout the interior was matched on the exterior with cast bronze to prevent corrosion from the salt air. Illumination was intentionally focused and concealed to make the art the star of the show.

A major challenge was met admirably when one of the main lighting fixture manufacturers went out of business during the project. The goal for the design team was to make Plan B look like it was Plan A all along. Cooperation of the entire design team and the owner made this a very hands-on project in order to best provide innovative solutions.
