RESIDENTIAL ARCHITECTURE


EDGEWATER LANE

Our client's desire was a contemporary home with a wink to Mid-Century Modern.
The owner's have a keen eye for design and detail. Together, we created a unique
blend of architecture and interiors. This home is located in Huntington Harbor,
on the water, where the main level deck cantilevers over the sea wall. Super
Bowl parties will be fun watching from an outdoor retractable big screen TV.
Construction was completed at the end of 2022 and we will add actual photos
soon.

See the ' Interior Design' section for interior images.

     ARABIC CONTEMPORARY

A client living one half of each year in his very large family estate in the
West Bank Territory asked Phillipe Horvath, Inc., to design two new homes for
his two oldest sons. The large site is located next to the father's estate. It
was important to the clients that the architectural design blend with the local
architecture and also be subtly unique and contemporary. The structural material
of this home is the same as the local norm, concrete block and concrete.

ARCH BEACH HEIGHTS

At the end of one of our office open house parties, a woman walked into my
office and said, " I am either going to remodel my entire home, or, I am getting
a divorce". The woman and her husband, now our friends, hired us to update the
design of their homes exterior and interior of their 1940's beach cottage to a
sleek, yet warm, modern beach cottage. We received Laguna Beach city permit
approvals and will start the new construction soon. See 'Interior Design'
section for interior images.

TOP OF THE WORLD

The owners of this home wanted to blend their love of organic architecture with
their appreciation of Tunisian and Mediterranean architecture. They wanted their
home to have a mystical, romantic, understated and natural feeling. We used
sacred geometry in areas of the design. The heart of this home  centers on an
enclosed atrium with a hanging fountain made of copper and hand blown glass. The
decorative tile was hand sculpted then a  mold was made  and the owner pulled
each concrete tile. This home was built from the ground up.

NEWPORT BEACH EUROPEAN VILLA

This 9000 sq. ft. European styled home was built from the ground up. Phillipe
Horvath, Inc., designed the interiors and the architecture, as well as observed
construction. The owner asked for their home design to exude an understated,
European elegance. Decorative concrete exterior panels, columns and cornice 
moldings  were used on the exterior and walnut inlaid floors, stained glass
doors, gold leafed details and European moldings were used on the interior.

CASA DE LUZ

The owners of this vacation home wanted their  interest in the poems of the Sufi
poet, Rumi to be reflected in their home. An ancient prayer was cast into the
curved, tinted, poured in place, concrete, interior walls. The kitchen and sofa
area are sunken down to match with the marble floor height. Gold leaf was used
on the fascia of the round ceiling soffits.

 CLIFF DRIVE

Sometimes it is fun to  get loose with design conceptualization. What if the
Superadobe, earthbag construction method could be combined with conventional
construction as a hybrid, sustainable form of an organic construction method?

HAND MADE


MAN CAVE

Superadobe structures were made known by the late architect Nader Khalili.
Superadobe uses the sites earth mixed with 10% cement and filled wet into rolls
of sandbag material. A mixture of earth and cement is applied to the semi dry
domed sandbag structure. Phillipe Horvath and a helper built an earthbag man
cave for client in Laguna Beach Canyon. Architecture does not get more
sustainable than this.
