beautiful villa in a scene from "Limitless." That perception is not too
far off, for this villa has become a popular staple for a truly romantic

Luxury Beach House by Richard Meier
A luxury design by architect Richard Meier and his partner Michael
Palladino, this cool Southern California beach house is the epitome of
cool. Fronting the Pacific Ocean to the south, a courtyard to the west
and the Pacific Coast Highway to the north, this 4,280-sq.-ft. beach
house follows in the tradition of SoCal’s courtyard houses that open to
the outdoors. This light and airy design welcomes residents and guests
into a two-storey glass-enclosed entry, leading into the garden, main
oceanfront house and guest house. The two-storey foyer is bisected by a
glass bridge and walkway, with the home living areas on either side.
A modern, open-to-above living room opens to the deck overlooking the ocean. Floor-two-ceiling glass is shaded with sunscreens and louvers, providing privacy while maintaining a sense of openness to the outdoors.
