"David John and Krista Schrock, partners in Los Angeles-based DISC Interiors, brought an effortless, contemporary vibe to the interiors, drawing inspiration from the nearby Pacific Ocean and California coastline.
"We wanted the interiors to feel modern and beach-driven but not in the typical Cape Cod motif of seashells or anchors," DISC said. The designers played up graphic contrasts with oversized black-and-white photography of ocean scenes and selected warm finishes such as natural linens, baskets and white oak flooring. Ceramics, paintings, textile weavings and custom furniture commissioned from L.A.-area makers and artisans give personality to the voluminous interior spaces.
Manhattan Beach architect Louie Tomaro of Tomaro Design Group is the home's designer. Sunset selected Mike Davis Custom Homes, also based in Manhattan Beach, to build the project. Masterpeace Gardens of Redondo Beach designed the landscape with drought-tolerant plantings, a no-mow lawn, an edible garden, an outdoor kitchen and living room, and a swimming pool."
