Overview
This one-story 2750 SF, 4 bedrooms, 3+ bathrooms deluxe residence, harmoniously integrated into the Malibu coastline, reimagines Californian Modernism with restrained elegance and structural clarity. Located directly on the oceanfront with uninterrupted views of the Pacific Ocean, the villa offers an immersive connection to its natural surroundings – a sophisticated architectural response rooted in spatial purity and material refinement.

Design Philosophy
As part of Malibu's Post-Fire Rebuild effort following the devastating 2025 wildfires, the villa embodies a new standard of resilient, future-ready design. Influenced by the timeless legacy of the Case Study House Program—pioneered by architects like Richard Neutra and Pierre Koenig—the villa speaks a contemporary minimalist language defined by open planning, light-filled volumes, and seamless indoor-outdoor transitions using high-tech materials advantages.

Materials & Construction
The exterior is finished with fire-rated large-format porcelain and quartz panels with ventilated façades, while floor-to-ceiling pocket and sliding doors with ultra-modern European glazing systems blur the boundary between inside and outside. Every component is selected for fire resistance, ensuring both safety and architectural integrity.

Interior Design
The interior features an open floor plan filled with natural light, enhanced by skylights, with a sleek natural oak veneer Italian Veneto kitchen, hand-blown Murano glass pendant lights, and wide-plank engineered oak flooring that brings natural warmth to the minimalist design.
