This a beautiful canyon contemporary home. This lot is steep and dramatic. The solution is three floors of luxurious living space and a pool in a beautiful canyon setting in Laguna Beach, CA. This plan maintains a low profile in the neighborhood, with attention to sound mitigation and overall mass reduction, while providing capacious space for this active family.
The Pasin residence is located in a private seaside community and is situated just across the street from the line of ocean front homes in the community. The home was a non-conforming residence with a second unit over the garage. This family wanted to bring the house into conformity, improve the functionality of their home, and take best advantage of their views.
Q: Your designs are beautiful. Which style is your personal favorite? A: Contemporary. I love it and grew up with it. It's a more honest style and lends itself to density, a way to design on smaller lots, which for Laguna is perfect. Classical style blends symmetry in its floor plan yet requires a large amount of space.
