WOLF DESIGN studio have recently completed Kings Place, a modern house in California, that has 180 degree ocean views of Newport Harbor, the Back Bay, and all the way out to Catalina Island.
Exotic hardwood was throughout the design of the house, to play against the landscaping, and to give the interiors a sense of warmth.
