Laguna Beach House
Laguna Beach House took a motel on the main beach in Laguna and made something specific out of it. The conversion was done with Southern California surf culture as the brief — not as a theme, but as a genuine point of view about what the building should feel like. The result is a small hotel with direct beach access, a rooftop, and the kind of relaxed design that coastal California produces when it's not trying too hard. Laguna Main Beach is directly in front of the hotel. Rockpile and Brooks Street — two of the best reef breaks in Orange County — are within walking distance. The hotel was designed for the traveller who wants to be on the beach, not near it.

The design
A motel conversion on Laguna's main beach. Southern California surf culture as the brief, not the theme.
Public spaces that embrace surf culture through restraint rather than decoration — wood, light colours, ocean-facing orientation. The rooftop is the hotel's best amenity. The beach is the second. Both accessed without a car.
