Tucked within SoCal’s laidback Manhattan Beach neighborhood, a 1961 bungalow offered the foundational bones and level lot in which to build a dream home for indoor-outdoor living and entertaining. The homeowners, Richard and Natalie, alongside their two young daughters and spirited dog, Mochi, embarked on a complete home renovation that transformed an outdated design into a contemporary retreat complete with flexible folding patio doors.
Leading the vision was Bianca Ecklund, Creative Director at Bianca Ecklund Design, who worked closely with the homeowners, architect, and contractor to bring the client’s dream to life. The result is a home that blends the ease of Southern California living with modern design elements—making entertaining a breeze, and intimate family moments everlasting.
