Welcome to Casbah Cove. It's a 2009 Moroccan-inspired desert mansion in Palm Desert, CA. 5bds, 7ba, 12,650 sq ft. $18.995m + $1,514mo HOA fee (I don't care how wealthy you are, that's a high HOA fee.)

Ornate double doors open directly to the main living space.

Look at the Moroccan fireplace. They went with black & white, but I had a Moroccan themed dining room and I made it very colorful.

There's a lot of intricate architectural detail. Many columns and archways, plus the cutouts in the ceiling.

Next to the main sitting area, there's a 2-story courtyard.

They added some color to the black & white theme with a blue fireplace in the family room.

Custom built cabinet in the kitchen. I like the island.

This must be a pantry.

The dining area has a mirror wall, but it's that smoky glass that looks like the 70s.

The library has a beautiful view.

Wow, this is some long lap pool.

Matching hot tub.

The primary bedroom is so white.

In the ensuite, I've never seen a tub like this with skinny little legs.

The 2nd floor loggia features Moroccan tiles and matching modern art.

One of the secondary bedrooms with a terrace.

Black & gold bathroom.

There's a 2nd pool that's round.

Covered outdoor kitchen next to the pool.

This is different- the movie screen is outdoors, but you watch from inside.

Courtyard patio with a fountain.

Finally a room with some color. Nice fireplace, too.

Look at how big the elevator is.

They certainly like pools.

Interesting shower room.

This is cool- the garage has auto-stackers so you can fit double the cars.

0.87 acre lot

Check it out- the glass roof over the courtyard opens and closes.

Custom Luxury Home Designs for Los Angeles’ Diverse Landscapes

Los Angeles’ diverse landscapes—from sun-kissed coastlines and rugged hillsides to urban areas and arid deserts—offer unique opportunities and challenges for custom home design. At Dean Larkin Design, we specialize in creating bespoke luxury homes that embrace these unique environments and enhance the quality of life for their inhabitants. Our approach combines innovative architectural solutions with sustainable practices to meet the specific needs of each setting, ensuring that each home is a perfect blend of form, function, and environmental awareness.

Commonly Asked Questions about Designing Custom Luxury Homes in LA

We design luxury homes in all types of landscapes. We have projects in progress in Joshua Tree, with its sandy landscapes full of protected yucca trees. We have done many urban projects, like our remodel of a condo once belonging to Robert Wise. The Swallow Project we completed with Bradley Bayou was set amidst the hills found in the Bird Streets of LA. With such variety, we hear a lot of questions about how we handle the different challenges, and today we will answer some of them. In upcoming articles, we will discuss these questions in more depth.

What are the benefits of custom home design?

Custom home design is the only kind we do. Our clients appreciate working with us as a team to allow tailored solutions that meet specific lifestyle and aesthetic preferences. Our goal is to ensure that every element of the home is created for the homeowner’s needs and desires, so they get wowed every time they come home.

How does landscape influence the architectural design of a custom home?

The landscape significantly influences architectural design by dictating the structural foundations, materials, and overall aesthetics. We also want to showcase the best views from the rooms most occupied by the homeowners, and this can mean unique orientations, panoramic windows, or unique lighting arrangements.

What sustainable practices are best for building in diverse Los Angeles climates?

Sustainable practices include using locally sourced materials, solar panels, and rainwater harvesting systems. We also make use of passive lighting and cooling systems among other things. These methods reduce the ecological footprint and enhance the energy efficiency of homes across varying Los Angeles climates.

“As a luxury Los Angeles architect, my mission is to design homes that not only push the boundaries of aesthetics but also embrace the unique environmental and cultural characteristics of each location. In Los Angeles, every landscape tells a story, from the dynamic coastlines to the serene deserts. Our designs are crafted to reflect this diversity, ensuring that each home is a personal sanctuary that enhances the homeowner’s connection to their surroundings. We are committed to using sustainable and innovative solutions that cater to the evolving needs of our clients while respecting the rich tapestry of Southern California’s landscapes.” — Dean Larkin, AIA, Founder of Dean Larkin Design

How can indoor-outdoor living be optimized in different Los Angeles landscapes?

Indoor-Outdoor living is part of the Dean Larkin Design DNA. We blur the lines between inside and outside with features like retractable glass walls, loggias that feel like they are part of the home and the landscape, and transitional flooring that extends from inside to outdoor living spaces, tailored to each unique landscape from beaches to city rooftops.

What are the zoning considerations for building custom homes in various Los Angeles areas?

Zoning considerations involve understanding local regulations on building height, setback requirements, land use restrictions and much more. Navigating these rules with a knowledgeable architect is crucial to project success and compliance.

How can water conservation be integrated into luxury home designs in Los Angeles?

Water conservation can be integrated through low-flow fixtures, drought-tolerant landscaping, and greywater recycling systems. These features are often used for sustainability in luxury homes, especially in arid regions like Los Angeles.

What are the best security features for luxury homes in various settings?

Security features include high quality doors with technological capabilities, advanced surveillance systems, automated gates, and reinforced safe rooms. Smart security technology allows for real-time monitoring and alerts, providing peace of mind in any location.

What technology is essential for modern homes in desert environments?

In desert environments, essential technologies include automated climate control systems and passive cooling features, energy-efficient appliances, and smart home systems that monitor and adjust to temperature changes for optimal comfort and efficiency.

What are the key considerations for designing a custom home on Los Angeles’s coast?

When designing a coastal home in Los Angeles, architects must consider factors like salt air corrosion, high winds, and flood zones. Proper material selection is one important factor in assuring structural integrity to withstand a coastal environment while maintaining aesthetic appeal. Design for coastal properties may include corrosion-resistant materials and designs that enhance natural ventilation to leverage the sea breeze.

How do architects ensure privacy in hillside homes while maximizing views?

To ensure privacy in hillside homes, our designers utilize strategic landscaping, innovative window treatments, brise soleil, and orientation techniques that shield interiors from outsider’s eyes while optimizing the best panoramic views of the property’s unique surroundings.

How does the architectural style differ between coastal and hillside homes?

Coastal homes often feature open, airy designs with ample natural light to reflect the seaside atmosphere. Hillside homes can also have open designs and may incorporate more rugged, earthy materials and expansive windows to capture dramatic hill views.

Hillside homes offer the opportunity to use surrounding landscapes to create privacy and a serene indoor-outdoor design.

What are the unique challenges of building custom homes in urban settings in Los Angeles?

Urban home building faces challenges such as limited space, high noise levels, and strict zoning laws. Some solutions we find effective are soundproofing, running water features, vertical design strategies, and maximizing natural light to create a sense of openness. We also have been known to change the orientation of the home to assure the best views and implement barriers like brise soleil to act as attractive sight and sound barriers in the front yard.

How do you incorporate natural elements into urban home designs?

Natural elements can be incorporated into urban designs in many ways. Rooftop gardens, living walls, and large windows or glass doors that connect the interior with the natural world outside, even in dense urban settings.

Work With Dean Larkin Design for a Custom Contemporary Home Made For Your Unique Needs

Embracing Los Angeles’s varied landscapes, Dean Larkin Design’s architecture firm crafts luxury homes that are as unique as their settings. Whether it’s a beachfront haven, a hillside retreat, an urban sanctuary, or a desert oasis, each project is designed with the utmost attention to detail and sustainability. By integrating cutting-edge technology, incorporating indoor-outdoor living, and adhering to local zoning laws, we ensure that our custom homes are not only beautiful and functional but also environmentally responsible and perfectly tailored to the needs and desires of their owners.
