""It really looked in despair with the whole house clad in a fake, pinkish wood," she recalls. "But the massing was incredible-it reminded me of the 1960s houses of Sea Ranch." Drawn to its potential, she purchased the property with the goal of giving it a new life, envisioning it as both a vacation retreat and a production location. A former director, Beatrice orchestrated the full renovation, preserving the exterior walls while remodeling nearly everything inside."
""The ceilings were extremely high, with oddly shaped windows throughout. It felt cold and unwelcoming," she explains. The solution was bold-lowering the kitchen ceiling to create the feeling of a real room, cladding the exterior in Kayu wood, and finishing the interiors with knot-free Radiata (or Monterey) pine. The result is a warm, organic modernist house spanning 2,900 square feet, with three bedrooms and an artful balance of raw and refined."
Beatrice Faverjon, a California-based French designer and ceramicist, purchased a neglected Topanga Canyon house after noticing its Sea Ranch–like massing. She preserved the exterior walls while remodeling nearly everything inside and orchestrated the full renovation. The kitchen ceiling was lowered to create a more intimate room, and the exterior was clad in Kayu wood. Interiors were finished in knot-free Radiata pine with transparent oil and new oak plank flooring. Paint colors were selected from the Frank Lloyd Wright Fallingwater palette, with the garage painted Monkey Madness and the front door Red Gumball. The renovated 2,900-square-foot house contains three bedrooms and balances raw and refined finishes.
