Sherman Canal Residence

VENICE, CA

Breakform Design's second ground-up residence on the Historic Venice Canals seamlessly integrates contemporary design with the historic charm of its surroundings. The shifting of the canal side's textured boardform concrete and glass facade creates a rhythmic interplay with the area's heritage while the interior beautifully juxtaposes sleek dark and warm earth tone materials. 

A combination of architectural ingenuity and modern comfort, the form and functionality of the thoughtfully crafted two-story volume provides captivating views to the outdoors. The primary suite features a private balcony overlooking the canal and a huge walk-in closet with an island, dressing/sitting area, and make-up area. The hotel-like bathroom has an oversized shower, stand alone tub, dry sauna, and laundry room. 

Completing the home's program are inviting, warm indoor-outdoor living spaces, three on-suite bedrooms with walk-in closets, and a private one-bedroom guest apartment with a separate entrance above the garage. The top level has an exceptional rooftop deck with 360-degree views and an outdoor cooking area.
