We sensitively renovated John Lautner's famed Segel Residence to include a full chef's kitchen while respecting the home's original architecture. Now, the owner can indulge her love of cooking without sacrificing panoramic views or social time with guests. To see the rest of this home as featured in Architectural Digest, follow the link below.

Thank you to the team at Archello for the lovely publication about our Bonsall collaboration with Interior Designer Vanessa Alexander on her personal Malibu home!⁠
