What Do We Do With This Space? Unlocking the Hidden Potential of Your New Coastal Home

Older homes in Laguna Beach and Newport Beach often have great “bones,” but awkward 1980s layouts that block natural light and ocean views.

The Visionary Advantage:

It takes a trained eye to look past outdated finishes and see what a home could be. Because Julie Laughton is a female architect, interior designer, and general contractor, she sees the space through three distinct lenses at the exact same time.

  • Maximizing Ocean Views: We reconfigure floor plans to open up sightlines to the Pacific.
  • Functional Flow: A woman’s touch ensures the kitchen, pantry, and living areas flow intuitively for modern family life and summer entertaining.
  • Indoor-Outdoor Harmony: We design expansive outdoor living spaces, pocket doors, and covered patios that turn a standard yard into a coastal resort.

Don’t settle for how the previous owners lived. Let us tailor your new home specifically to your lifestyle.
