Norman Design Group has collaborated with top-notch artisans to construct this Mediterranean-style house, from the ground up, nestled in Palos Verdes Estates, a city within Los Angeles County, California. As an avid surfer and outdoorsman, the homeowner wanted an interior to accommodate his active lifestyle and entertainment goals.

Upon entering through a striking steel front door, an exquisite foyer and staircase unfold, adorned with vintage European pavers and plastered walls. The home’s open layout effortlessly facilitates social engagements, while the selection of understated textiles, integration of supple saddle leather, intriguing textural elements, and a color palette featuring serene sage greens punctuated by deep purples collectively evoke the essence of the natural world indoors.

The talented team of designers resourced all the materials and architectural details of the dwelling’s interior, seeing the project through the decoration phase.

What We Love: This Mediterranean style house features beautiful time-worn materials, bespoke handcrafted light fixtures, artisan finishes, retractable doors, and an expansive open floor plan that converges into a dynamic space ideal for effortless entertaining. We are especially loving the aesthetics of the historic beams sourced from Kentucky tobacco barns, the sculptural sandstone tub in the owner’s bathroom, and the awe-inspiring views of the Pacific Ocean.
