Marcus House
Brandon Architects worked to design the Marcus House with maximum access and exposure to its surrounding views of the water and park in Newport Beach, California.
This Newport Island home, an exclusive community of approximately 100 homes, is next door to Newport Island Park. The homeowner is Scott Upshall, a hockey player, most recently playing for the Dallas Stars.
Brandon Architects designed the space with three different elevations/views in mind to optimize natural light and views: view of the street—a long view that extends all the way to the water, view of the park and view of the water. The home features 3-stories, with the first floor designed with entertaining in mind, the second floor for living/bedrooms, and the third floor features a rooftop deck, dry sauna, lounge, office, and yoga room.
Additional features include windows and doors by Western Windows & Jeld Wen, paint is “Kynar”, a durable paint perfect for ocean environments, an interior elevator, and a powder room with Billy Joel lyrics on the wallpaper.
