Rebuilding the Palisades: A study in simplicity, this single story home at the western cliff edge of the Marquez Knolls overlooks the Pacific Ocean. After living on the property for nearly five decades, our client returns to this newly completed house in summer 2026. The level pad at the bluff sits much lower than the street creating privacy. From above, the oxblood red metal roof and smooth white walls indicate a house that feels more modest than when one arrives after descending the steep drive. The fall is worth it as you enter a home embraced by timber finishes, natural daylight in voluminous scale and an incredible horizon of blue sea and landscape fringe.
