Single Family Residence In Solana Beach

The Chapman Residence by architect Kendrick Bangs Kellogg offers far more than its ocean-view living room, the home hosts a fully immersive sensory experience. Solana Beach artists Wayne & Barbara Chapman tapped Kellogg to reimagine their modest 1960s home and its surroundings characteristic of the architect’s collaborations with his clients by providing the vision while the clients took an active role in bringing it to life—managing construction and often working hands-on at the site. What began as a modest structure evolved into a dynamic, multi-level residence of light and volume, expanding into a series of bright, open living spaces, including a ceramic studio. Kellogg’s unmistakable design language—most notably his sculptural fireplaces and fluid, nature-inspired forms—unfolds throughout the home, revealing itself in moments both subtle and dramatic, from the street-facing approach to the intimate interior details. Arrival is an experience in itself. Visitors are guided through serene, Japanese-inspired gardens—lush, textural, and intentionally tranquil—before passing through hand-carved doors into a 3,900-square-foot tri-level composition of wood and glass.
