Overview

The UrbanLift is a modern beachfront home designed to enhance the experience of coastal living. Nestled along the Malibu coastline, the villa incorporates expansive glass walls, natural materials, and open spaces that celebrate the beauty of the surrounding ocean and landscape.

Detail Project

Design Highlights:
  • Panoramic Ocean Views: Floor-to-ceiling windows and sliding glass doors in each room offer uninterrupted views of the Pacific Ocean, allowing natural light and sea breezes to fill the home.
  • Indoor-Outdoor Living: The villa’s design blurs the lines between indoor and outdoor spaces, featuring expansive terraces, a pool deck, and a beachfront fire pit area, ideal for relaxation and entertainment.
  • Sustainable Materials: Reclaimed wood, locally sourced stone, and environmentally friendly finishes contribute to the home’s commitment to sustainability and harmony with its surroundings.
  • Luxury Amenities: An infinity pool, home theater, spa room, and private gym offer a resort-like experience, enhancing the villa’s appeal as a luxurious retreat.

Key Challenges:

The proximity to the coastline required specialized design solutions to protect the structure from wind, salt, and erosion. We worked closely with engineers to create a resilient foundation and incorporated materials that would withstand the coastal elements.

Result:

The Coastal Retreat Villa is a serene and elegant escape that embraces the natural beauty of Malibu’s coastline. The villa provides a seamless connection to nature while offering the ultimate in comfort and luxury, reflecting our dedication to both aesthetic excellence and environmental responsibility.
