- Great article! We were totally thrilled to work on this project with Barbara and Eric, and to be included in this dwell feature. Just want to emphasize that we are Landscape DESIGNERS, not Landscape Architects, as reported.

- How is it that in every article my projects end up in, the magazine never gives any type of recognition to the General Contractor that built the project? These projects can become very complex and not just any contracor is capable of building them. Sincerely, Glenn Lyons Glenn Lyons Construction inc.

It was the surf and the artsy vibe that attracted Eric Grunbaum to Venice Beach, California, 18 years ago. An avid surfer and creative director for an advertising agency, he thrives on lively environs. So it’s no surprise that he turned to the Los Angeles–based architect Barbara Bestor to design a house for him near the Pacific. Bestor, the chair of graduate studies at Woodbury University School of Architecture, has a formidable reputation in Southern California for her bohemian modernism, and for Grunbaum, she created a 2,000–square-foot, three-bedroom, three-bath home that harbors a traditional sensibility with a contemporary heart. Grunbaum gives us the tour of his modern surf shack.

— Paul Young

From the deck off the master bedroom, Eric Grunbaum looks across his front yard. Barbara Bestor designed the second story to float over the ground “like a cloud.”
