LAGUNA BEACH MODERN HOMES

Jillian and I paid a visit to our old Laguna Beach neighborhood today, so I decided to snap some shots of a few of my favorite homes.  There are so many more of these home in the area, but I just captured the ones on the way to our old place.










This shot shows the bridge connecting the garage to the main living area that sits on the side of a mountain









This is the home next door to the one pictured above






This home is just a couple of blocks from where we lived and we watched the build from beginning to end.  We anticipated so much more (it looked amazing in the skeleton phase), but it appears their momentum fizzled with the end product









Just random shots of a couple of old cars around the corner from our old home















Jillian calls this the Carlo (of Hollywood) home, because its windows appear to be inspired by Carlo painting forced perspective frames














Unfortunately, the interior decor of this home doesn't compliment the attractive exterior. At night, the owners leave the blinds open revealing a mediocre attempt at a vintage/retro designs.  Great use of  such a small lot, though.
Not sure what to say about this home, but it was directly accross the street from our home and was easy on the eyes

  2. Oh you'd be surprised at the multitude of amazing modern homes just in my old neighborhood alone, just above downtown Laguna. No - no for sale sing on the roadster. Nice little ride, huh?

    Cheers!
