SPECIAL EDITION | THE MALIBU HOUSE

CASA ZUMA IS HOME

Letter from Camille

Each morning, Adam and I begin the day with a stroll on the seaside. After we get dwelling, we open the doorways, make espresso, and settle into the rhythms of our day. These moments really feel easy, however they’re the life we imagined six years in the past once we first found the property that will change into Casa Zuma.

On the time, it was an overgrown acre above Zuma Seaside with a light Nineteen Fifties bungalow and plenty of work forward. Nonetheless, one thing about it felt immediately acquainted—the ocean filling the horizon, jasmine perfuming the drive, and palms swaying overhead. We spent our first summer season there residing within the bungalow simply because it was, strolling to the seaside, selecting dinner on the farmstand, and gathering across the firepit at sundown. We found a simplicity we didn’t know we’d been craving.

That feeling turned our imaginative and prescient for Casa Zuma: respiratory house, each actually and figuratively. An in depth reference to the outside, doorways that might keep open all day, and loads of room for bringing folks collectively.

Casa Zuma additionally turned our inventive muse. The primary object I designed for the home was a ceramic mug for our gradual mornings. It turned the Ritual Mug and, ultimately, the start of the Casa Zuma model. As the home developed, I continued creating and gathering items impressed by life right here.

The renovation took six years. Our plans modified, our kids grew, and our household moved by total chapters of life. Now that we’re lastly dwelling, I can see that Casa Zuma was by no means only a renovation challenge. It was a manner of asking ourselves how we needed our days to really feel—after which creating a house and a life across the reply.

This Sourcebook is my manner of opening the doorways and sharing it with you. I’ll take you thru Casa Zuma room by room, revealing the choices, supplies, makers, and sources that introduced it to life. My hope is that you just’ll discover concepts to hold into your individual dwelling—to not recreate this one, however to make extra room for the folks, rituals, and moments that make you are feeling most alive.
