Ocean View Penthouse

This ocean-view penthouse offers a bird' s-eye view of the coastline. Eco-friendly furnishings, natural textiles, and organic rugs provide a perfect Zen retreat. Barnard customized not only the furnishings but all of the materials and finishes.

Fine art can become a unique design element within a room. This one-of-a-kind artwork in the living room is fashioned from hand-thrown clay disks explicitly created for the living room and captures the calming energy of the ocean air. The installation's delicate minimalism and organic formations add dimension and complement the room's natural textures.

The dining room is paneled in floor-to-ceiling mirrors, which virtually expand the room. Elegant white leather canteliver chairs with sweeping chrome arms were designed by Mauro Lipparini.

The clients selected the colors of the natural fibers artist Renae Barnard used to create a hand-woven sculpture for their home office. Crafted from wire, sash cord, cotton clothesline, wool, yarn, fleece, and linen, it’s a truly one-of-a-kind piece that doesn’t compromise the chemical-free integrity of the home. It’s very much of them, for them.

A tiny guest bedroom suffering from inadequate floor space required some serious problem-solving! The bed and nightstands were custom-made to make the tight quarters feel light and livable. An ebonized platform bed keeps the primary bedroom low and lean. Washable bed linens and a natural wool area rug make keeping things clean easy. Articulating bedside lamps make nighttime reading a breeze.

Fresh and fun colors come to life in the open-air media room. The locally made sectional sofa was designed to fit the homeowner's specific desires. It is made of natural, non-toxic materials and handmade in California.
