LIDO ISLE
A little over an hour south of Los Angeles, lies a quiet community that has found a way to remove the frantic pace of the Hollywood metropolis and embrace the relaxing atmosphere and present mindset better known as “the beach life”. Lido Island is known for its prime, in-demand waterfront properties, close-knit community of ground breaking entrepreneurs and captains of industry, as well as its coastal aesthetic and one of a kind network of high-end, designer custom homes.
We were chosen to create an installation that provided the most dramatic focal point for the great room of this lavish family home. With customization and perfection as the guiding goals, we were able to design and craft the aquarium to maintain the same elements of quality and caliber palpable throughout the entire house.
