A bespoke home featuring sightlines to the ocean gets a refreshing renovation.
When renovating a 1974 home for a family with four young children in Laguna Beach, California, inspiration is easy to find. After all, there are few muses better than the large dome of blue SoCal sky intermixed with the serenity of the ocean horizon.
The Fox Group, a full-service residential design, and construction firm based in Utah, designed a home that reflects the natural beauty of the setting while giving its clients all the amenities an active family requires.
The interior evokes a peaceful and calm feeling similar to looking at the ocean, says Cara Fox, lead designer, and owner of The Fox Group. It has charm and style as well.
The project was complete in just nine months. Now, built-in cabinetry, soothing color schemes, and softly elegant details give new life to the previously lacking layout and interiors.
