Every remodeling project presents its own unique challenges. This client’s original remodel vision was to replace an outdated kitchen, optimize ocean views with new decking and windows, updated the mother-in-law’s suite, and add a new loft. But all this changed one historic day when the Woolsey Fire swept through Malibu in November 2018 and leveled this neighborhood, including our remodel, which was underway. Shifting to a ground-up design-build project, the JRP team worked closely with the homeowners through every step of designing, permitting, and building their new home. As avid horse owners, the redesign inspiration started with their love of rustic farmhouses and through the design process, turned into a more refined modern farmhouse reflected in the clean lines of white batten siding, and dark bronze metal roofing. Starting from scratch, the interior spaces were repositioned to take advantage of the ocean views from all the bedrooms, kitchen, and open living spaces. The kitchen features a stacked chiseled edge granite island with cement pendant fixtures and rugged concrete-look perimeter countertops. The tongue and groove ceiling is repeated on the stove hood for a perfectly coordinated style. A herringbone tile pattern lends visual contrast to the cooking area. The generous double-section kitchen sink features side-by-side faucets. Bi-fold doors and windows provide unobstructed sweeping views of the natural mountainside and ocean views. Opening the windows creates a perfect pass-through from the kitchen to outdoor entertaining. The expansive wrap-around decking creates the ideal space to gather for conversation and outdoor dining or soak in the California sunshine and the remarkable Pacific Ocean views.

This Ketchum cabin retreat is a modern take of the conventional cabin with clean roof lines, large expanses of glass, and tiered living spaces. The board-form concrete exterior, charred cypress wood siding, and steel panels work harmoniously together. The natural elements of the home soften the hard lines, allowing it to submerge into its surroundings.

Modern functionality meets rustic charm in this expansive custom home. Featuring a spacious open-concept great room with dark hardwood floors, stone fireplace, and wood finishes throughout.

The design made critical balances between the sloppy site and the requirements of the client to have a house with two distinct uses; a private family house and a banqueting facility with a swimming pool and terrace, in addition to a parking lot, playgrounds, landscape and a design farm land with a wondering jogging track. All the functions entertain the main beautiful panoramic views from the land down the slope, balconies, terraces and roof top are equipped with relaxing seating and other needed services.

This home was themed to have an old world feel to it. In order to achieve the desired look, the wrought iron steel needed to be hand hammered, twisted and bent. The rivets match throughout the interior and exterior of the home, to bring each piece together. The handrail was built to look like it was riveted together and was installed prior to the stone to conceal the attachment points. The retaining wall rail was welded to appear as one solid piece of metal bent into a U shape. All of the door hinges, handles and knockers match in one way or another. They were hand hammered and forged to accent the beauty of the wood. The iron really brought the great room together. Starting with the five foot tall fireplace doors, the hand made branch work, leaves and handles make it one of a kind. The massive seven and a half foot diameter chandelier that includes 12 large, ten inch candles fills the ceiling with a wrought iron work of art. Lastly, the Juliet balcony with its curved and riveted design, gives this room the finishing touch. For their privacy and security we installed an electronic gate system at the entrance to the property. All in all, the combination of steel, rock and wood; truly brings out the old world feel.
