Client:
A couple in their 60's who live in Santa Monica. The husband is an art dealer and wife is an actress. They have a modern style while still being laid back. They both love the sun and can't get enough of the beach so want to make sure the space not only is functional inside but from every angle welcomes the outside. On their property they are building a retreat/cottage for not only themselves to use for guests, parties, small gatherings but intend to have their granddaughter stay there while she creates her own couture line.
