Mermaid Cave | Dana Point, CA

Nestled on the bluff in Dana Point, this single-family residence elegantly transforms a mid-century home into a contemporary retreat.

The design respects the home’s original character while introducing modern elements and a material palette that mirrors the natural environment. Expansive windows frame stunning coastal views, while open-concept living spaces create a seamless connection between indoors and out.
