Beauty at the Beach
Airy and contemporary, this 2,200-square-foot
home offers peaceful ocean views
S
et in the South Bay, this home combines a so palette of off-white tones
with Ipe wood and one-of-a-kind finishes that bring contemporary beach
vibes—with a view—to Redondo Beach, a communi with the best of
what Southern California can offer. Located only 18 miles from Downtown L.A.
and seven miles from LAX, this relaxed ci is a vibrant host of sandy beaches,
fine-dining options, parks and shopping facilities, all within reach. Also known
for its excellent schools, the area is
understandably favored by families.
Here, this contemporary, newly built
project emerges as a collaboration
between Hermosa Beach-based GWC
Design Architects and Lomita-based
builder South Bay Design Center, which
was founded in 1992 by Kamer Kosedag
and has, over the years, become a popular
reference, in particular for kitchen
and bath remodeling, and residential
construction services. Located at 810
Esplanade and listed for $3,200,000
by Don Ruane of Real Estate West, the
structure comprises a 2,200-square-foot
house spread over two levels. e three-bedroom, two-and-a-
half bath proper (unit C) occupies the ground and first floors of
the three-story building. Steps from the beach, the ground floor
featuring the bedrooms has its own private entrance, while the
first floor comprises all the living spaces with direct access to two
attached garages.
With the goals of creating a natural look while protecting against
the elements, the exterior of the house was covered with Ipe wood.
A solid 2.25-inch-thick, custom-made walnut front door acts as an
invitation to discover the airy, open-plan space.
