California Coastal Design in Santa Clarita
June, 2026 - Issue #251

The sitting room was designed as an intimate, cozy retreat. This space highlights the clients' stunning artwork, enhanced by carefully-placed lighting to showcase each piece with intention and depth. The coffee table is an inlaid fossilized clam shell on a stonecast base made from a tree-trunk mold.

Inspired by our clients' love for travel and their passion for scuba diving, this project was thoughtfully designed to reflect a serene, California coastal lifestyle layered with organic sophistication.


The family room serves as a central gathering space, blending comfort with architectural interest. Organic forms are echoed through kidney-shaped coffee tables and natural rattan accents, adding softness and movement while maintaining a cohesive, earthy feel.

Throughout the home, we incorporated a curated mix of natural textures and materials - ranging from stacked stone and warm wood tones to alabaster lighting and organic stone slabs - creating a grounded-yet-elevated aesthetic.


Alabaster lighting plays a key role throughout the home, particularly in the entryway and dining room, where it adds a soft, ambient glow and an elevated touch of luxury. Each space flows effortlessly into the next, offering both functionality and beauty.

A soft, earthy palette anchors the space, complemented by intentional pops of blue that subtly nod to the ocean and the clients' adventurous spirit. Each element was selected to feel both relaxed and refined, bringing a sense of calm while maintaining a high-end, custom feel.
