Luxury Malibu Beach House Renovated to Improve Light and Views

Originally completed in the 1970s by noted architect Jerry Lomax, the Taylor Beach House recently received a renovation by SPF:architects.

The two-year project focused on maximizing light and views, and refreshed the home with an improved interior layout.The Taylor Beach House is located a stone’s throw from the sea in Malibu, California, and measures 5,000 sq ft (roughly 464 sq m). Though still striking, it was starting to show its age by the time it was bought by new owners.Lomax himself was planning to tackle the redesign work but handed it over to longtime friend and former colleague Zoltan E.
