California Coastal — style reimagining

Style

California Coastal

Inspired by Brandon Architects / Eric Olsen Design· no affiliation

Newport / Manhattan Beach beach modern — white siding, walnut accents, deep slider walls, brass.

• White or warm-cream painted vertical siding (board-and-batten or shiplap, wider proportions than NorCal farmhouse) — never stained, never cedar.
• Walnut accents at front door + ceiling soffits + visible structural members.
• Brass or oil-rubbed bronze hardware throughout — NOT matte black.
• Slim dark-bronze window frames — refined profile, never industrial Crittall.

Scope

Light remodel

New paint, siding, roof, and finishes — the structure stays put.

Replace the exterior materials in the chosen style while keeping every structural element exactly. Best for solid bones with dated finishes. This is what most renovations call 'a refresh.'

Typical cost

$150K–400K
