A House with Mid-Century Modern and Italian Influences

The Adelaide House is one of Ray Kappe’s prefab Livinghomes that’s made up of 11 modules installed on a beautiful lot in Santa Monica over the course of just two days. With a focus on indoor/outdoor living, the design is split over multiple levels that help define certain areas while remaining open and light. Complementing the home’s style are the warm, modern interiors that were designed by DKD LTD.

Designed for a young business executive, the residence is furnished with a blend of mid-century modern, Scandinavian, and Italian pieces, along with custom furniture designed by DKD. Each piece was thoughtfully selected and placed to enhance the design of the home, while offering opportunities for the guests to enjoy the framed views.

The floating staircase is open as not to disrupt sight lines through the house. It leads to a master bedroom with views of the ocean, and the impeccable SoCal sunsets.
