This idyllic Newport Beach house is designed to celebrate waterfront living

traditional-style-home-exterior

This waterfront dream house was designed by Brandon Architects together with Patterson Custom Homes, located on Harbor Island, a small artificial island in Newport Beach, California. The three levels of this traditional style residence are immediately celebrated upon entrance with a triple-height foyer, nearly thirty feet tall.

The main living space, overlooking the rear yard and calm harbor waters beyond consists of a bar, lounge, great room, dining room, and kitchen, all connected by the projectโ€™s open plan, yet married still with old-world detailing and finishes, giving the project a contemporary feel rooted in timeless building traditions.

What We Love: This sensational Newport Beach house embraces the waterfront lifestyle, designed to maximize views throughout. Indoor-outdoor living was the central focus, with plenty of space for entertaining and hosting friends and family. We are loving all of the attention to detail in this home, with an attractive material palette and calming color scheme that helps to focus your attention on the magnificent views surrounding this home.

The interiors are elegant, with sophisticated, symmetrical details and finishes found throughout the home, such as the decorative wood panels on all of the walls which are completely identical in size, and American black walnut hardwood floors are done with a mosaic inlay pattern using African wenge wood in the foyer.

The color palette for the home fits the traditional style yet remains contemporary in its design. In the foyer, the lacy grids on the front transom exterior steel windows line up perfectly with the window grids on the wine room and glass elevator that are also in the foyer, a design that is very difficult to achieve.

The 30-foot foyer is open to all three stories, with 12-foot ceilings found on the first two levels of the home. In order to achieve these high ceilings and adhere to the Homeowner Associationโ€™s rules and the City of Newport Beachโ€™s building height code, the foundation began four feet beneath the ground level, requiring additional engineering to pump out the water below.

The design is discreet as the foyer remains at ground level, while the main living area is four feet below the foyer, accessible by a short flight of stairs.

The second level contains three secondary bedroom suites, laundry, gym, and the owner’s bedroom suite โ€” all with sweeping views over Newport Harbor and Linda Isle to the North. The entertainment space dominating the third level houses a bonus room and a bar, and opens to a rooftop view deck, perfectly positioned for sunsets over Newport Harbor to the South.

Exterior finishes express the substantial nature of the design with stone and steel windows and doors. The roof eaves utilized various detailing patterns with custom milled profiles, and natural slate and zinc roofing round out the high-quality finishes of the exterior. The back patio includes an outdoor kitchen, a dining area, a lounge area with an outdoor fireplace, and its own private dock.
