About the Listing S5316 - SSTROBRY
Welcome to “The Switch House” at 2821 Alma Avenue—an architecturally significant modern residence located on a serene walk street just moments from the beach. Designed by renowned firm Brooks + Scarpa in 2021, this innovative 5-bedroom, 6-bath home spans approximately 4,000 square feet and takes a unique inside-out approach to beach living. Rather than clustering open-air spaces along the exterior, this home centers around a stunning multi-use glass courtyard that anchors all three levels, bringing robust natural light and fresh coastal air deep into the interior. Large sliding glass panels and operable windows maximize indoor-outdoor flow while offering views of Palos Verdes, Malibu, and the Pacific. On the upper level, a sunlit kitchen and family room connect via a skybridge hallway to the living room. This open-air passage—flanked by ocean views—links three separate outdoor balconies that create dynamic spaces for entertaining, dining, and relaxing. With sleek, corner windows that disappear, these areas flow seamlessly into the living space, offering flexibility and privacy all at once. The home’s thoughtful floorplan includes living spaces on the top and bottom levels, while four of the five bedrooms are privately situated on the middle floor. A glassed-in elevator connects all levels, providing both ease and elegance. Sculpted aluminum screen walls on the façade provide privacy from the walk street while also catching and reflecting sunlight throughout the day, casting beautiful shadows indoors. Inspired by the homeowner’s upbringing in the lush rainforest above Oahu’s Manoa Valley, the home emphasizes natural ventilation, passive cooling, and a connection to the outdoors. Whether hosting a party that spills onto multiple balconies or relaxing in the inner courtyard under the stars, the home is a true sanctuary. Designed to harmonize with nature and community, The Switch House is a rare modern masterpiece just moments from the sand.
