Journey to Manhattan Beach, California to explore architect Anthony Laney’s latest project: a home that is a celebration of indoor-outdoor living. His client, inspired by their travels to tropical locations, wanted something warm, comfortable, and approachable. And with its distinct scalloped concrete walls that not only structurally support the edifice but also move vertically throughout it, interacting with light and natural surroundings in fresh and unexpected ways — as well a primary living room with a double-height ceiling; a kitchen that connects directly to the pool deck and features a built-in breakfast banquette and views of the garden; relaxing bedroom retreats that overlook the Pacific Ocean and feature sliding windows that quite literally disappear; consistency of materials throughout, including cedar wood repeated in the ceilings and the scalloped concrete walls show up at every anchoring point; a basement entertaining center with a back-lit onyx bar and private wine cellar; and a sunny space dubbed the “California room” because it’s perfect for lounging and escaping the bustle of everyday life — this design certainly exceeds all expectations and offers a sense of serenity and calm.
