Studio Bracket has designed the contemporary remodel of a 1949 International Style Home in Malibu, California.

 

The original structure was built in 1949 and was the first home constructed in the Malibu Knolls region of Malibu. The house sits atop a bluff with views of the Malibu Pier, Surf Rider Beach, Malibu Lagoon to the south and the Santa Monica Mountains to the north.

At the request of the owners, the updated house maintained the lines of the original home, while also increasing the square footage.

Back inside, and in one of the bathrooms, a glass ceiling and partial wall in the shower provide uninterrupted views of the surrounding landscape.

In another bathroom, a stone wall becomes the backdrop for the vanity, while a horizontal window in the shower allows natural light into the room.
