Distinguishing old and new while creating a sense of cohesion, Pacific House is the home of interior designer Megan Brown, principal of Penman Brown. A generous new pavilion was added to the original California bungalow, capturing northern light and views of the landscape, enhancing the home’s connection to its coastal environment.

A palette of tactile natural materials was selected to complement the heritage of the original bungalow while imbuing a sense of contemporary coastal elegance. Speaking to the textures and tones of the landscape yet strictly adhering to a monochromatic palette, the layered subtleties ensure the design is at once contemporary and timeless.
"There is a wonderful sense of relaxation and serenity in this space."
"I wanted to create a sense of grandeur but I also put so much time into designing the floor plan for functionality, so it is a really easy house to live in."
- Megan Brown
Fixtures and loose furnishings were selected for their organic qualities, yet a focus on line as the overarching design emphasis ensures a sense of the modern and refined prevails.
