Beach style rooftop and rooftop deck in Los Angeles with a roof extension.

Photography by: Amy Birrer This lovely beach cabin was completely remodeled to add more space and make it a bit more functional. Many vintage pieces were reused in keeping with the vintage of the space. We carved out new space in this beach cabin kitchen, bathroom and laundry area that was nonexistent in the previous layout. The original drainboard sink and gas range were incorporated into the new design as well as the reused door on the small reach-in pantry. The white tile countertop is trimmed in nautical rope detail and the backsplash incorporates subtle elements from the sea framed in beach glass colors. The client even chose light fixtures reminiscent of bulkhead lamps. The bathroom doubles as a laundry area and is painted in blue and white with the same cream painted cabinets and countertop tile as the kitchen. We used a slightly different backsplash and glass pattern here and classic plumbing fixtures.

We used the existing builders rubble as an infertile planting substrate for plants that will thrive in a low fertility medium, are happy in an exposed location, and enjoy the sharp drainage afforded by the material. An informal, naturalistic design was created that links the house and garden to the wider natural landscape of the Cowal peninsula and Isle of Bute. Paths meander through the garden mirroring the rolling mountains and ebbing and flowing of the sea. The planting is inspired by the forms, style and subdued tones of the mountains, moors and coastline of the west of Scotland. Large boulders and smaller rocks were ‘planted’ into the sloped garden to add height and interest, to add to the naturalistic feel, and offer planting pockets for alpine plants. Gravel mulch was used to dress the builders rubble, retain water in this exposed location and suppress weeds to help create an attractive but lower maintenance garden.
