Manhattan Beach Brick Home

The front of this Manhattan Beach home is clad in ARTO's handcrafted Newport Brick in Early Gray with a Limestone finish. The long, slim bricks run in tight horizontal courses up the gabled two-story wing, around the black garage door and into the covered front porch, their pitted, stone-like surface glowing pale in the sun. Inside, the same calm palette continues in three bathrooms. One shower is lined in Artillo 4x16 concrete tile in Early Gray, laid in a running pattern with a long built-in niche and bench. Another shower uses Studio 2x8 ceramic tile in Alabaster, stacked vertically in soft, warm tones. A third bath wraps its tub in Studio 3x6 in Sierra Snow, set in a blocked pattern whose glossy white glaze catches the window light.
