Dream House

Designed by Stuart Howard, the ’70s dwelling channels the spirit of the legendary coastal community.

"With its wall of glass, waterfall in the main room, and skylight as big as some bedrooms, this home has drawn great interest from those who value connection with nature, cutting-edge design, and a story about a turning point in architectural minimalism,” notes the agent.

The studio’s mobility has proved its worth. “We’ve moved it to various rentals and will move it to our new house once it’s complete,” says Kat. “We may bring it downtown for an arts festival.”

Expansive windows and glass doors line the front and back exterior, ensuring ample natural light is ushered inside.

A cozy corner nook offers a quiet place to read or work.

“It needed to be a sleeping niche that could become very dark,” says Pulcrano of the bedroom. A porthole window offers light when desired, and curtains encircle two sides for when it’s time to create total darkness.

Valspar ‘Black Evergreen’ covers the beams, doors, and trim. The perimeter counters are concrete, by Cement Elegance.

Boy Boy fabricated the framing for the flue shroud and base, which was then finished with plaster, and given a limestone benchtop. The Arto Ceramic tile extends into the kitchen, which has a preserved wood ceiling with new skylights.

The endless pool allows for athletic training and a place for lounging beyond the kitchen.

The pitched roof upstairs is set back from the flat-roofed main floor, breaking up its mass. The detached rear garage became an office for Moshe and firm partner Wayne Erb.

A cantilevered glass hallway links the living areas to a spacious, quiet home office.

The primary bedroom presents a calming oasis overlooking the Palos Verde Peninsula.
