A 1950’s ranch-style home in Rancho Palos Verdes was transformed into into a modern, light-filled haven, drawing inspiration from Japanese and Australian minimalist aesthetics, complemented by sleek Mid Century Modern accents. This serene home underwent a comprehensive renovation from the ground up with additional square footage and an ADU to suit multi-generational living. The design vision was focused on creating a tranquil sanctuary free from distractions while incorporating sustainability features that were mindful of the environment where possible.

As you enter the oversized steel/glass pivot entry door, the home boasts striking vaulted ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows and a 12’ bifold door "wall" that seamlessly integrate indoor/outdoor living and expansive city and ocean views. Modern elegance abounds throughout with designer finishes, fixtures, and furnishings. A chef’s dream kitchen includes state-of-the-art German Bulthaup cabinetry, thin-profile porcelain countertops with slab backsplash and integrated shelf, an 8’ Cararra marble island, countertop appliance garage, and a bifold pass-through window bar to the outside. Sustainability features include FSC-certified oil-finished maple hardwood flooring, over 800 sf of composite decking, solar panels, drought-tolerant landscaping, permeable pavers driveway, electric car outlets and tankless water heaters.

Designed with intentionality, the home's "U"-shaped floor plan encompasses a central courtyard, fostering a sense of connectivity while offering privacy. Notably, the addition of a 1bd-1ba ADU "wing" with separate entrance provides versatility, whether for accommodating in-laws, hosting guests, creating a teen retreat, or generating rental income.
