Malka Architecture's 'Mugu House' Brings Natural Elements Indoors

— January 30, 2017 — Art & Design
Malka Architecture's 'Mugu House' project is a residence that marries organic and modern elements. Located in the heart of Malibu's Mugu Point, the structure boasts monumental partitions that contrast organically shaped rock formations.

While the home's concrete and glass partitions embody a stark and minimalist aesthetic, its uneven rock walls give its communal areas a cozier, grotto feel. The rock formations are also topped with abundant cactus plants which are nested within them.

This Californian residence fuses contemporary accents with eclectic decor, making for a home that is distinct in its overall look and feel. Malka Architecture is a firm known for its imaginative and monumental projects and this home is no exception. The epitome of luxury that is mixed with nature, the residence is not only structurally bold but is also designed with function and comfort in mind.
