Venice, California is known for its eclectic design styles, boasting a range of craftsman bungalows to modern retreats. The homes mirror the exuberant yet relaxed energy that permeates the famous beach nearby, thanks to the longstanding culture of street performers, rollerbladers, artists, and more. Now a new home has come to the market along the Venice canals, designed by the acclaimed local architect team from Electric Bowery and asking $8.495 million.
When it came to visualizing the property, Electric Bowery had a clear direction and was inspired by the creatives who have long made their retreats in Venice. “Our vision was to keep things simple but full of character, drawing from natural textures and materials,” the team shared.
There is something for everyone here: The avid collector has ample space for art while the wellness guru can find many serenes spaces for meditation. The team also employed touches of Wabi-Sabi style, which is a Japanese design style emphasizing imperfection and simplicity. Because of these thoughtful architectural choices, the final product is a contemporary masterpiece that has a modern yet earthy feel.
“Victoria Residence is a space that encourages creativity and connection,” said the Electric Bowery team. “We focused on making the indoors and outdoors feel like one continuous experience, with unique handcrafted touches and vibrant landscaping bringing it to life.” It’s a residence that is primed for entertaining both inside and out, featuring a stylish courtyard encased in greenery, while the sleek interiors offering multiple open gathering spaces.
Most Venice properties may seem to be on the smaller side, but this gem offers a generous main house and guest cottage encompassing over 4,100 square feet. It holds three bedrooms in total, each with their own en suite. With the right amount of space for visitors and daily inspiration, it is truly an oasis where tranquility and personal alignment come first.
