The Judges Statement on the MariSol Malibu Beach House: “Incorporating years of study of coastal botanical habitat, the developer sought to place these homes into an indigenous botanical garden.   Respecting landforms while creating strong architectural spaces that blur the lines between inside and outside make this a perfect home for the gentle Southern California climate. The judges were impressed with the strong artful interior architecture and creation of elegant casual lifestyle. The homes were designed with multigenerational private suites to allow for the return of friends and family.
