A Testament to Architectural Significance and Rejuvenation. This Malibu Road beach home has a rich history of architectural significance and a story of preservation and rejuvenation. Designed by Jerrold E.Lomax, FAIA, in the 1970s, it stands as a testament to modern-minimalist ideals. It is characterized by clean lines and an open layout that maximizes natural light and scenic views of Malibu's coastline.The house underwent a transformative renovation process under the stewardship of Zoltan Pali, FAIA, a protege of Lomax and a distinguished architect in his own right. Facing the challenge of updating the residence to meet modern standards while respecting its original design principles, Pali carefullyintegrated advanced materials and technology to enhance the home's functionality and aesthetic appeal.One of the key elements of the renovation was the optimization of natural light within the space. The existing skylight was a key architectural feature originally designed by Lomax. It was upgraded with high-performance UV glazing and an automated remote section that opens to the sky and is accessed by the illuminated EeStairs aluminum and glass staircase - a stairway to the stars. This transformation involved the installation of slimmer window frames and high-performance glazing, as well as the automation of the central axis skylight, flooding the interior with daylight and providing access to the rooftop observation platform. Modifications were made to enhance the home's design, including exposing the steel framework and installing a striking architectural aluminum and glass-illuminated staircase. Throughout the multi-year renovation, every aspect of the residence was meticulously modernized whilepreserving Lomax's minimalist vision. The result is a revitalized Beach House that pays homage to its architectural heritage while embracing contemporary design principles. Despite the extensive changes, the essence of Lomax's original vision remains intact, making it a fitting tribute to his legacy
