With a beautiful amalgamation of architecture and interior design, brought together by teams at Horst Architects and Aria Design, the Rockledge Residence in Laguna Beach, California, answers the owners brief just perfectly. The creation of a relaxed family beach house where the owners could engage with family and friends was the task at hand, and this little gem certainly ticks all of the boxes. The residence of Rockledge has a serene view of the ocean along with swimming pool and a breathtaking skyline. The entire place looks heavenly with soft hues of furniture which gives a resort look to the entire place. White hue, a modern fire place, spectacular usage of the glass and sombre lights adds peace to the place. An all in all urban and stylish interior is worth taking look at:-

The breathtaking angular shaped swimming pool with small grey tiles and metal stool with plants in the radiant light adds to the beauty of the place. The blue sky is in sync with the blue colour water and a slight tinge of the yellowish orange colour in the sky and also of the light makes it combine the beauty.

The morning picture of the porch with sofa and the fire place makes it an ambient surrounding for the slight greyish tiles and cottage style structure and overseeing roof top in glass.

An inside living room from which the entire ocean view comes into the picture with glass doors all around and two sized round structure stands in one corner. One grey sofa with an inside shelved fire place, two lamp stands, low benches and a wooden table with a glass vase looks beautiful.
A clear picture of the outside view and the inside view of the living hall is seen by the glass that separates the inside from the outside. Inside grey sofas and the outside white sofas look spectacular.
A diamond shaped metallic piece with the glass vase is set on the table top. There is a glass door, white ceiling and carpeted area of the inside.
The bedroom has a wooden flooring in greyish tone, a wooden plank on which the bed rests and an all over blinding windows gives a cosy feel to the room and natural sunlight also penetrates through the blinds into the room. There is also a back high rise table for keeping show pieces.
An arc shaped living room with long drawn curtains, two angular cut sofas and a hearth placed below it with well defined cabinet system- for the LCD television set to be placed, fire place, some earthen utensils and small square lights fitted on the ceiling.
A changing room after swimming can be as swanky as provided in the picture. It has a glass case like box for taking bath. Wooden flooring with jellyfish like structure as a showpiece kept on the sink. The towels are neatly arranged and placed in the shelf like structure.
A section of sauna bath looks very rich with a semicircular tub and a metallic foyer attached to it and is separated by curtains. On the other side a resting sofa and a small table for wine glasses and a thatched arm chair with open glass over viewing the vast ocean is a scenic beauty.

Huge tables and fruit plates on top along with, a glass box chimney and the outside view is surreal during dusk as the tinge of orange and yellow with the crystal clear ocean and a huge umbrella over the dining table set gives a romantic feel.
