This Laguna Beach estate project represents Novara Design Build at its most ambitious. The clients — owners of a grand oceanfront property — came to us with a clear vision: they wanted their home to finally match the quality of its location. The kitchen transformation was total. Every element — cabinetry, countertops, island, backsplash, hardware, and lighting — was designed and installed from scratch. Custom white shaker cabinets replace the original honey-toned units, while dramatic black granite waterfall surfaces on both the island and perimeter counters create a bold, luxurious contrast. The Arabesque tile backsplash brings pattern and texture without competing with the stonework. In the living room, the original fireplace was demolished down to bare brick and rebuilt entirely in Arabescato marble — one of the most prized natural stones in the world. The result is a fireplace surround that would be at home in the finest residences in Europe or Beverly Hills. From the first consultation to the final walkthrough, this project was delivered on time, on budget, and to a standard of craftsmanship that the clients described as exceeding every expectation.
