The mansion’s interior provides natural lighting and cross ventilation amongst every room to provide an ocean breeze- emphasizing environmental sustainability, a JH2 staple. Steel clad window frames to contrast the white stucco, paired with off-white beige stone precast for detailing allows the home to be easy on the eyes while emphasizing the image of luxury and space.
