Catalina Island Project

A special project is in the works and we’re excited to announce that Lunada Consulting & Design is designing a vacation home on the island of Catalina in Avalon.  As of now the job site is in phase 1 of construction. Framing is going up as we speak.

The LCD designers have been collaborating and creating space plans, color palettes, and finishes for both the exterior and interior. Think Industrial, Reclaimed, Modern Vacation Home wrapped in glass. A personal oasis of modern raw beauty on the island.

The view from the site is out of this world! It is situated at the top of a crest with panoramic views of the Avalon Harbor. Take a look at the “Bird’s Eye View” photos below.

The project has taken “Green Design” very seriously. Tankless water heaters will be used instead of traditional water heaters to save up to 40% of electricity. Low flush toilets will be placed in every bathroom to help cut the gallons of water used with every use. “Grey Water” cisterns are being installed, a special water system used to harvest, store, and reuse water, for exterior use. Every drop of water counts on the island of Catalina as the periods between stage 1 and stage 2 drought conditions become closer. These are just a few examples of how we are incorporating “Green Design” into this project and as we continue with our material and finish selections we always have environmentally friendly first and foremost on our mind.
