PRIVATE RESIDENCE

Perched above the Pacific within the enclave of Three Arch Bay, this oceanfront residence represents a contemporary reimagining shaped by architect CJ Light and realized through a highly collaborative design process. Interior design and interior architecture by Ron Neal and Jeffery Maynard bring a refined material sensibility and level of craftsmanship that elevate the experience of the home. Lighting is seamlessly integrated, reinforcing atmosphere and spatial continuity while remaining visually restrained. Together, the project reflects the work of a team recognized for delivering design-driven environments with precision, clarity, and a distinctly modern coastal sensibility.

ARCHITECTURE & DESIGN

The architecture, led by CJ Light, is defined by clarity, restraint, and a refined simplicity that emphasizes proportion, materiality, and connection to the coastal environment. Clean lines and disciplined geometries shape a spatial experience guided by natural light and expansive openings. Interior design and interior architecture by Ron Neal and Jeffery Maynard introduce warmth through richly articulated materials and custom detailing that balance the precision of the architecture. Lighting is minimal and highly controlled, seamlessly integrated to reinforce form, texture, and spatial transitions without visual clutter. Together, architecture, interiors, and lighting create a cohesive, composed environment where every element feels deliberate and nothing is excessive.
