Lee's background as a surfer also comes into play in the design of this
home. "One of the most important things about surfing is balance", says
Lee who grew up on the coast, hanging ten. In architectural terms this
means balancing open airy spaces with smaller and more intimate ones
and creating rooms that, while they flow easily into one other, offer the
slight suggestion of separation.
is is confirmed on the upper level, reached by a floating staircase.
Take the master suite, with its lovely ocean views and palatial vani
as one example. e layout of the shared space understands the line
between privacy and togetherness: the spacious closet, with ample
room for two wardrobes, includes two entrances; the opulent bathroom
includes a vani and a double sink alongside steam shower and spa
bath. (A window here overlooking the front of the home enables a bird's
eye view of the home's comings and goings, whether that's a child
heading off to catch the bus for school or the arrival of a visitor.) Equal
care has gone into the design of the rest of the bedrooms on this floor.
The same consideration for life's ebb and f low is evident on the
home's lowest level. Hosting a bar, g ym/yoga studio, theater and
climate-controlled wine cellar, it can be accessed from both the
inside and the outside.
"For me this is the quintessential California house because it's got the
sun, yard, ocean view, indoor-outdoor living, all the components we're
searching for," says Lee. "e dreams that people have about a dream
house." Offering traditional values seen through a modern lens, this
home offers the best of both worlds, one that understands and responds
to the intricacies of contemporary life. But then, given the high standards
of the modern homeowner, one doesn't assume anything less.
