Witness the Transformation
Ocean View Expansion
This project involved removing three load-bearing walls and installing custom steel headers to create a 30-foot unobstructed view of the Santa Monica coastline. We upgraded the entire structural foundation to support the new open-concept layout while ensuring the home exceeded California’s latest seismic safety standards.
