Trancas

Malibu, CA

Glass partitions and walls create reflections and transparency between open spaces, exterior views, and interior adjacencies.  A two-story addition expanded the existing living room spaces, with extensive interior renovations to the kitchen, bathrooms, and building surfaces and lighting systems.

The new, glass enclosure includes a folding door system at the lower level, offset by Edward Durell Stone’s original concrete block decorative walls.  First published in Life Magazine in 1958 as a prototype for modern living, ED Stone envisioned a new concept in multi-family housing. 

The kitchen was reconfigured with 30” deep, ash-wood cabinets, white glass counters, and a dedicated coffee bar. A walk-in pantry and utility closet are located behind the end wall.
