Home of the Week: Designer’s Santa Monica vision fuses form and function

Visionary designer-builder Mario Romano is set to unveil his newest and final architectural masterpiece in Santa Monica. The fourth in a series, 1016 San Vicente effortlessly fuses form and function to accomplish a new expression of modern California living and features Romano’s signature custom-designed walls inspired by his love of nature. The multi-dimensional walls made of Corian® reveal undulations in sand, butterfly wings, and ocean waves — each uniquely carved and textured.
