Contemporary exterior in Los Angeles. — Houzz Love this Color and wood combination
“We created a durable, low-maintenance, energy-conserving home that is modern but timeless,” says Gast. “It allows our clients to delight in life in the country and age gracefully.”
Slatted benches serve as a patio rail. “They were designed to accent rather than hide the view,”
A trellis made of hog wire (a mesh used for farm fencing) runs along the exterior. “When the vines that have been planted grow in, they will provide a nice shade,”
A soffit defines the kitchen in the open plan and brings light to the island, which divides the cooking and dining areas
The wall over the cooktop does not meet the ceiling. “The front door and hallway are behind it,” says Gast. “Keeping the wall lower means light can be shared between the two areas.”
The clients wanted the home on a single level. “They wanted the house to have a casual feel,” Gast says. Since this is a retirement house, a single story became an important accessibility aspect. “As they get older, they will be able to use the house,” says Gast. “We have just one wing with a second level. It’s currently used as a gym but could later become a caregiver’s quarters.”
The shed roof of the new house made room for a loft, accessed by a ship’s ladder.

The architect and interior designers at H2K created a subtle water motif throughout the house. In the living room, the rug has a colorful wave pattern, which is repeated in white in the plaster panels surrounding the fireplace.
On the main floor, the kitchen, living room and dining room are located in one open space. The large windows slide open to embrace a water view.
A guest bathroom is tucked under the metal stairs that lead to the family’s quarters. Opaque glass provides privacy while letting light from the main room flow through.
Two Murphy beds behind a wall of cabinets to the left of the seating area fold down to make more sleeping space for guests.
Openness and connection to outdoors.
