The Rue Deauville Residence is located in the Big Canyon community of Newport Beach, and was designed for a real estate developer engaged in both tract home developments and luxury residential remodels. The defined goal was to transform a dated, 1970's home of 4,200sf into a well-planned and aesthetically appropriate residence of 4,850sf. This was accomplished through the utilization of previously unused space over the garage, and a total refinement of the interior floor plan while still maintaining the existing slab footprint and all major structural walls. The end result is a home that is comfortable on the interior and which also resides seamlessly within the surrounding community of French-inspired residences.
