836 Beach Drive

Robert Thibodeau, AIA :: Walk Street Modern :: Here on a quiet walk street one house from the sand, just south of the Hermosa pier, architect Robert Thibodeau has reconceived the California beach house, creating a space for people and parties, sunshine and ocean breezes, a lifestyle for this temperate climate ? enveloped by the clean lines of modernism. The architecture is at once disciplined and rigorous yet warm and inviting, the hard edges of the design softened by natural materials, abundant light and a flow from indoors to out. The home is oriented to spectacular ocean views, with ten-foot tall sliding glass doors, large decks and butt-glazed corner conditions, with panoramic views from the roof deck. Three over-sized fireplaces warm the space on cool spring evenings, and a large front patio is perfect for summer sunbathing. Quarter-sawn white oak floors, rough-hewn redwood ceilings, Ann Sacks tile, Italian cabinetry, European fixtures, Bosch appliances and unparalleled attention to detail. 5 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, 4 car parking, 3,865 square feet.
