The seller of this property is a Land Developer who commissioned bau10 to design five special houses along a road leading through the Canyon. The original 635 acres of undeveloped land was sold to the State of California in November 2008, and will now be forever preserved as parkland, with the exception of the Malibu Ocean Ranch house site.The overall design concept derives from the idea of a village of forms, similar to Mediterranean villages. Five differently orientated volumes that are connected around an open patio define the house shape. All five volumes are carefully directed toward ocean, canyon and city views. By placing the building volumes and patios slightly below the existing grade, the overall estate and the private driveway feel exclusively secluded, sheltered and private.

The main house and guesthouse have a total of 6 bedrooms, 5 1/2 bathrooms and over 2,500 SF of outdoor patio space and terraces. The main entry hall leads to the intimate and wind protected 470 SF patio with modern wall murals, which serves as a connection to all surrounding building volumes and as an outside living / dining room and also provides space for art, entertainment & plants. The patio frames the view toward the ocean, overlooking the pool and deck. The entry hall leads also to two separate building wings.Orientated toward the parkland, canyon and ocean are the 580 SF dining hall with an 21' high ceiling and an upper level entertainment area, and separated by a 3 sided fire place the 440 SF living room, with access to the 725 SF sun deck. Orientated around the patio and with individual views from Santa Monica to Point Dume are the 690 SF kitchen and family room with access to the theater and the upper level bedrooms. The master bedroom has direct access to a 500 SF roof deck with spa, which offers 360-degree views of the canyon and the entire coastline.

To comply with Coastal Commission requirements and to address sustainability and fire protection, the building volumes are all coated with light grey smooth stucco; the wooden windows are all aluminum glad with low-e dual glazing, the patios and decks are covered with light cross-cut Mexican travertine and heavy timber, and the roofs are covered with light colored natural terra cotta tiles. The sloped and flat roofs offer enough area for photovoltaic and solar thermal elements to provide the entire development with energy, radiant floor heating and warm water.

This 7,212 SF single-family residence development, located within the Coastal Zone in Malibu, got a Building Permit in June 2009, and is currently under construction.
