Highlands Ranch

The long entry evoking classic MCM design (flanked by a 30' long wall and wraparound water feature) slowly reveals the entrance and view beyond.

The pivoting glass entry opens up the home with a warm wash of afternoon sun.

The home is perfectly situated for Catalina Island views, and the walls of glass offer up the maximum panorama. The unique "nesting" garage door opens the living room fully and seamlessly to a 225 sqft patio, complete with built in fire pit. The nesting door opens upward into a space above the ceiling to keep the door and mechanism out of the living space. The guide wire patio shades over the space provides essential sun protection while making the outdoor space feel cozy, even on the coldest nights.

25' wide Fleetwood doors open the rec room to a private front yard filled with the sounds of the wraparound water feature .

12' ceilings gain even more height with the sunken living room, which divides the living space from the rest of the great room, while maintaining the open floor plan.

The chef's kitchen connects directly with the living area while providing spacious countertop dining and ample storage. The 12 person dining table fits is surrounded by 12' high disappearing doors on 2 sides.

The ocean view master provides complete privacy, a cozy fireplace, and wall of glass.

The master bath of Highlands Ranch features twin Duravit cabinets with concrete sinks, all lit from above by an automated skylight. SGS' design provides passive cooling when coupled with the garden-level windows. The ocean view shower provides a seamless indoor/outdoor bathing experience.

The walls of glass provide uninterrupted views through the entire home to the ocean and Catalina beyond.

The Neutra inspired "Spiderleg" enables the home dining area to open up on two sides with no visible corner. The structural leg passes, untouched, through the cantilevered concrete deck to the slope more than 10' below.

Catalina Island fills the home from sunrise to sunset.

The classic MCM lines are evident from the rear of the home. The dramatic spider leg and sunken living room porch are visible here while the master is hidden beyond.
