    "The Beach Loft is the only new home on the tour.  The home combines the character of a Laguna Beach cottage with the style of a New York loft giving a light and airy feel throughout the home.  The owners relish the time relaxing with friends in their modern beach cottage."                     Coastline Pilot

2010 Laguna Beach Charm House Tour

We are based in Southern California in the town of Laguna Beach.  We work with our clients to achieve design solutions using building products that are innovative and sustainable.

Mark Abel   Architect

Every client and every site is unique.  It takes a lot of listening, unfolding my client's vision, informing it with the site's opportunities, blending research, technology, style and function in concert with Nature and then bring it all together with great interior design. 

The residential projects shown range from 1.300 sf to 8,500 sf, new homes and remodels, large and modest budgets representing many different personalities and lifestyles.  The common thread is the creation of a home that is the embodiment of your lifestyle, with soulful style and comfort that fuel the spirit.  To build your home with an eye on sustainibility, integrity and quality in a timely manner.  We continue our committment in design into construction to see each project through to completion.

In addition to our local coastal projects we have designed  remote projects with indigenous style in Santa Ynez, Idyllwild, Washington, Florida, New Mexico, Maui and New Zealand.
