A Refreshing “Idea” in Beverly Hills


A prefab beach house doubles as a weekend retreat and a seasonal residence.


To make the most of the area’s year-round weather and the home’s attractive, modestly sized backyard (complete with a pool, spa and sitting area), Bowcott, president of LA-based Pemwood Designs, took advantage of an open floor plan and huge moving walls of glass to blur the transition from the indoors to the outside.

The centerpiece of the indoor-outdoor living space is a two giant four-panel

bi-fold door from Western Window Systems


that, when opened, lets fresh Southern California air course through the dining/living area (as well as office and lounge rooms) of the 2,000-square-foot home.

“The glass door is beautiful and effortless, and the clean lines of the product fit perfectly with this remodel,” says Bowcott. “It frames the view of the outdoor space and unfolds to create a truly lovely experience for the homeowners and their guests.”
