Even one as rigorous and consistent as Jerrold E. Lomax feels that urge, and he and his wife, Sandra E. Miles, have just completed their fourth residence. All were bold modernist statements, and the latest is the most radical and pared-down of them all: a loft in a live-work complex that Lomax helped develop in Sand City, a small coastal town just north of Monterey, California. His neighbors are warehouses and an electrical distribution building, and he’s matched their grittiness with poured-concrete and corrugated-metal cladding. I t was quickly dubbed “industrial chic,” and the owners delight in the kinetic sculpture of moving lights on the elevated freeway, even though this blocks the ocean view.

It’s a far cry from the refined pavilions of steel and glass that Lomax designed for Craig Ellwood in the 1950s, a job that brought him back to his native Los Angeles from Houston, where he went to school. And it may seem an odd shift from the elegant house on a leafy view site that the couple built in Carmel Valley, California, when he wound up his practice in L.A. and moved north. Lomax sees his latest venture as are turn to the frugal experiments of his early years, when idealistic young architects were striving to reshape postwar America and make well-designed housing available to all.

In its collective character, the complex recalls Gregory Ain’s terrace housing and, in its unabashed materiality, the livework space that Charles and Ray Eames built for themselves.

The Jerrold Lomax loft displays his signature expression of volume,fine details and sustainable matierials. Walls of glass, front/rear decks, grooved sawcut concrete flooring, radiant heat, chefs kitchen; a modern contemporary work of art.

Though the ceilings are low, the insides of the home were stripped back, and architectural features like ceiling beams and columns are left open and powerful. Big windows let in a lot of light but itâ€s also fun seeing all the clean white elements that help the brightness. Though thereâ€s a lot of concrete and gray, theyâ€ve filled the whole space with lots of quirky art, fun furnishings and more to help keep it a warm, comfortable space. Like like.

The curtains and the marble floor have floral motives; the purple armchair with its interesting silver edge takes us back in the past. The bathroom in its blackness has very modern tiles and a floral motif that reminds me the floral motives of the Arabian 1001 Nights. A black and white environment provides black and white furniture, without being too much.

I feel the bedroom a bit too much, though…

Every room has a certain charm and uniqueness that makes you appreciate every little object belonging to this space, no matter it is an elegant piece of furniture, an art object, a purple vase or wallpaper. A few words are not enough, but capture the essence: luxury, elegance, style, modernity, glamour.

The general black and white atmosphere is completed by grey shades, without being boring. In a wide- open environment, every little thing is simple and modern at the same time. No matter it is a living room, a bedroom or an office space, everything is very modern, even futuristic. The presence of glass ensures transparency, while the modern furniture pieces are in harmony with the environment.

The whiteness of the environment is in perfect contrast with the black spots, providing an elegant air that is intriguing in its perfection. This futuristic ambient with all sorts of modern devices, with elegant curtains that give personality to the rooms, with modern lamps of different shapes, with modern furniture of the highest quality ensures comfort and self-confidence. Such spaces are for a well-defined category of people, those who can afford what seems to be the definition of luxury. Designed by Geometrix, they are the best proof that dreams come true; the smart examples in the pictures stand for the concept of ideal place.
