Michael 1811 is a high-end custom single-family residence in Pacific Palisades, designed with a warm contemporary interpretation of classic residential architecture. The exterior combines white-painted brick and siding, dark-framed windows and garage doors, restrained trim details, and layered landscaping to create a bright, refined, and welcoming street presence. The spatial concept emphasizes comfortable family living, natural light, and a clear connection between interior spaces and private landscaped areas, while the front elevation maintains an appropriate neighborhood scale. A key challenge was balancing a generous modern residential program with the familiar character of Pacific Palisades, resulting in a home that feels timeless, functional, and carefully integrated into its context.
