Creating Coral House
Coral House, named for the iconic Santa Monica tree that stands at its entrance, is located on a coveted street overlooking the canyon, with views to the beach and the blue and white surf of the Pacific.
Remembering Architect Harry Gesner - A Man Ahead of His Time
Harry Gesner comes from a long line of inventors, adventurers, and artists, and his own life is an encapsulation of those all.
Iconic Movie Houses - Part II
Here is part II of our exploration of iconic modern homes featured in film:
Creating BigHorn
This project was built adjacent to the Mountain Course in the Bighorn Golf Club, Palm Desert, California, in the foothills of the Santa Rosa Mountains.
Creating Serenity
The desert is open space and long views, but also the close-up, detailed perfection of the cactus flower. It is nature’s serene minimalism. This is the setting for our project inside the gated community of The Vintage in Indian Wells, California.
Creating Georgina: A Client Collaboration
We had a chance to talk with client Julie Cantor about her close collaboration with Marc during the creation of her new home on Georgina in Santa Monica, CA.
Down Under: In the California Desert
The modern earth sheltered house is primarily built into the side of a hill or berm with a glass aperture providing illumination for the space.
The Modern Stairway
Stairs can be much more than a way up or down; modern design has broken away from the old closed staircase lined with portraits of deceased relatives.
Design for Human Well Being
Most basically, our houses give us shelter from the weather, a place to sleep protected from lions and tigers and bears, and room to keep our stuff.
Creating Benedict Canyon
Our client, who is from the sports world, wanted an open-plan house for entertaining but also a photography studio and a gallery space suitable for hanging his large art projects.
