A fire-resistant concrete house in Malibu – Trancas House, designed by Lorcan O’Herlihy Architects after the original residence was destroyed in the 2018 Woolsey Fire. Rebuilt on the same footprint, the new design features rectangular skylight towers, exposed board-formed concrete, and a layout that frames views of the canyon and ocean while incorporating wildfire-resilient strategies throughout.

  • Slatted Beach Retreat

    Thrilled with the beach town location of their summer house, but not with its loud ’90s-era architecture, a family approached Blue Truck Studio with a directive — tone it down. What they had: a house with wild geometry, such as octagon-shaped rooms and triangular spaces. What they wanted: a Sea Ranch aesthetic of simple forms. Blue Truck Studio created an all-new interior of calm, open spaces that flowed easily into one another.

A pivot door and two large slider doors invite ample light inside while a driveway turned soccer pitch and slatted outdoor shower for hosing off after a trip to the beach reflect the family’s love of recreation and the outdoors.
