The Brown Studio, Inc. together with dasMOD, have completed a new modern house in La Jolla, California, that draws inspiration from Scandinavian farmhouses.

The single-storey house features metal siding and is located on a large, flat cul-de-sac lot with 180 degree ocean views.

Inside, the light-filled interior has been designed with simple forms and clean lines. In the living room, a section of the wall has been recessed to highlight the television and entertainment unit.

The social areas of the house are open plan, with the living room, dining room, and kitchen all sharing the same space. The wood ceiling helps to draw the eye upwards, and adds to the feeling of it being like a farmhouse.

A sliding glass wall opens the social areas of the home to the deck and heated infinity swimming pool.

A covered area of the deck has been designated as a secondary living space, with armchairs, sofas, and lighting.
