1309 S Irena Ave, Redondo Beach, CA 90277

1309 S Irena Avenue in Redondo Beach, envisioned and brought to life by the lauded Los Angeles architect Patrick Tighe, is a testament to the transformative power of modern design. Nestled in the heart of suburban, beachy South Redondo, this 3 bedroom, 3.5 bath, 2819 sq ft home is a striking edifice of both clean minimalism and functional luxury. Signature Patrick Tighe, faceted volumes, cantilevered rooflines, metal cladding and expansive use of glass define the structure. The highly sculptural profile of folded metal roof planes creates a stunning façade, as larger, more expressive volumes rise to the west. Inside, the house offers an airy and spacious feel, as dynamic spaces flow through the home, with sleek bamboo and slate flooring, and layered geometric skylights. Strategically-oriented floor-to-ceiling glass provides optimal transparency and brightness, while grounding the structure to its surroundings. Further blending the indoor and outdoor environments, the slender swimming pool extends directly from the edge of the entertainer’s kitchen, forming a strong axis in the Mediterranean-inspired landscape. Bask in the coastal breezes at each level, including several outdoor lounge spaces in the backyard at the fire pit cabana, or under wood pergola with the two-way fireplace. The master suite, featuring a walk-in closet and spa-like bath with separate shower and jetted tub, appears to float above the pool, wrapped in floor-to-ceiling glass. The roof decks offer fireside cocktail spaces and sweeping views of the twinkling lights dotting the Palos Verdes hillside, and sunsets to the west. Just a half mile from the sand, this must-see property seamlessly blends the best of beach lifestyle with the understated elegance of Tighe’s world-class design.
