Victoria House

Building a house in Southern California's iconic Venice Beach requires a design so beautiful the neighbors will welcome you with open arms and a space so perfect you'll want to live there forever – and have a great investment to boot. Contemporary is obviously the way to go but there are many pitfalls which can only be avoided by hiring a firm that really knows what it's doing.

Ridaa Murad (Managing Director, Chief Investment Officer) and Ramsay Daham (Director and Chief Development Officer) of Breakform, an integrated real estate investment, management, development, design and build company based in Los Angeles, recently showed that they've got what it takes with the completion of a cool new Venice Beach pad.

Key features are a soaring custom entry glass door leading to a completely open and seamless floor plan, wide plank flooring, custom walnut kitchen cabinets, a dining area with retractable glass doors leading to a patio, a media room with sliding glass doors leading to a roof deck, and a large master suite with a wood plank ceiling, a walk-in closet and a separate office area leading to a private outdoor deck.
