What an utterly stunning place to drift off to sleep!

Designed by Horst Architects and Aria Design, the Rockledge Residence in Laguna Beach, California is the ultimate in luxury.

The architects brief called for a relaxed family beach house where the client could engage family and friends.

The clifftop dwelling is perched on the rocks high above Laguna Beach with a nearly sheer drop to sea’s edge.

There is a casual and easy luxury in the design.

Virtually every room is about enjoying the views and natural surroundings of the site.

The house and a separate guest house meet around a connected courtyard.

An outdoor fire brings family and friends together in California’s balmy evenings.

Sliding, concealed pocket doors bring the ocean

The boundary between interior and exterior space is dissolved by the wide expanses of  glass.

The mild coastal climate allows for the seamless integration of interior and exterior spaces.

A serene bath overlooking the ocean is one of the charms.

Sunlight leaches into the living spaces warming the surfaces.

Native, drought-tolerant vegetation make relaxed and tropical landscaping.

Rockledge is a place of meditation and contemplation, the lure of the ocean and sky.

Altogether a stunning house in a stunning setting.
