Once this couple found land in Corona del Mar, a charming coastal neighborhood of Newport Beach, they wanted plenty of curb appeal to go with it. The homeowners hired Brandon Architects to visualize a new home with a two-story plan that would embrace comfortable materials inside and out.


Houzz at a Glance

  • Location: Corona del Mar neighborhood of Newport Beach, California
  • Size: 3,341 square feet; four bedrooms,  4 1/2 bathrooms
  • Designers: Brandon Architects and Patterson Custom Homes

The exterior features whitewashed brick and Douglas fir, materials that continue inside to inform the interior palette, giving the home a fluid look and feel.

In the living room, the same Douglas fir wood found on the exterior appears on the fireplace surround, which is accented by a limestone mantel. The exterior brick also continues inside. The narrow lot and home dictated sparse interior detailing and furnishings to ensure a comfortable, airy feel.

In the nearby dining space, a portion of the wood-wrapped exterior wall carries inside to create a feature wall and add warmth.

A 50-inch mesh linear light hangs above the dining table, punctuating a subtle industrial style that’s found in the kitchen as well. Contemporary Chandeliers for Above the Dining Table.

A coastal palette of whites, woods and blues ties together the open floor plan, as does the continuous run of lightly stained white oak planks.

To get the right look for the brick, Christopher Brandon, the architect, and the team from Patterson Custom Homes had to pull a few time-consuming tricks. They couldn’t find brick veneer products that offered an authentic style the homeowners were going for. So they cut real bricks into 1½ -to-2-inch thick pieces, then acid washed them to create a custom veneer.

Light: Elegance in Lighting

In an upstairs hallway, strategically placed skylights light the path to the bedrooms and bathrooms.

A three-panel sliding glass door serves as the main wall in the vaulted master bedroom, which overlooks the front yard. Brandon designed this room to have a deep recess “to allow for more privacy and and less noise and light pollution from the frequently traveled street in the front,” he says.
