Description

Sculptural architecture meets refined coastal living in this custom Horst Architects residence inside Irvine Cove—Laguna Beach’s most exclusive private community. Clean modern geometry, dramatic scale, and warm natural materials come together with seamless sophistication. Upon arrival, a bold architectural procession begins along floating steps skimming an infinity-edge pool, moving past linear fire features and sleek outdoor lounges before reaching an oversized glass pivot entry. Walls of glass slide away completely, dissolving boundaries between indoor and outdoor spaces and creating a natural flow from the courtyard to the main living areas. Strong horizontal lines balance cast-in-place concrete walls, framing curated ocean views and lending the structure a sense of permanence. At the center of the home, a showcase kitchen appointed with Gaggenau and Bosch appliances is paired with a concealed prep kitchen—designed for both everyday living and elevated entertaining. Open-concept living spaces invite connection while maintaining architectural drama, all oriented toward outdoor terraces and resort-style amenities. Upstairs, the primary suite delivers tranquility with ocean glimpses, a sculptural fireplace, automated wood privacy screens, and a spa-level bath illuminated by a glass-ceiling steam shower. Lifestyle and wellness take priority with an indoor/outdoor gym, private sauna, and steam facilities designed for daily rejuvenation. Located on the northern end of Laguna Beach, Irvine Cove offers 24-hour guard-gated privacy, tennis courts, an oceanfront park, and coveted private access to a pristine sandy beach—one of the most beautiful along the California coastline. This residence is more than a home—it’s a study in design, engineering, and coastal luxury.
