When it comes to the ultimate in ultra-luxury living, it’s hard to beat the allure of a dreamy coastal home retreat. The scenic waterfront settings of these properties make them worth buying alone, but their exceptional views are even more of an added perk.
On the Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu, California, as an example, a listing recently hit the market, and it overlooks not only the ocean but also the nearby islands and the coastline. The celebrated architect Chad Oppenheim, founder of the international firm Oppenheim Architecture, designed the property and said that he was inspired by the incredible beauty of the site. “This home is a love letter to Malibu, a destination with a laid-back luxury lifestyle that I personally connect with,” he says.
Shaped like a cube, Oppenheim’s off-white residence aims to bring the outdoors in, and features retractable walls of glass that maximize connectivity to the environment. “I want the owners to feel the drama of the surroundings they’re in,” he says.
