Fischbeck says she wanted a warm, laid-back feeling for the 992 Oceanfront project. Clean lines and a neutral color palette bring an airy feeling that doesn’t detract from the beautiful beach views.
“What we do best is working with natural stone… it’s my passion,” says Carlos Aquino, owner of OC Marmol, which manufactures and installs natural stone for high-end commercial and residential projects like 992 Oceanfront. “Abodwell was looking for someone with an artistic eye and creative ideas, and I knew we could accomplish their vision.”

Brittney Fischbeck
Founder/Interior Designer @ Abodwell Interior Design
Location: Laguna Beach, California
LS: Did you feel pressure to develop your voice early on?
Brittney Fischbeck: Southern California is a mecca for design and there are so many talented architects and designers within a few square miles of Laguna Beach, where I live and work. My dad is a contractor so I spent many a summer vacation on construction sites—design is in my DNA. My parents encouraged my creativity, but were not totally thrilled when I announced, ‘I want to be an architect when I grow up.’ My dad said, ‘You’ll get stuck behind a desk all day drafting and be broke! You need to be a designer, it’s more rewarding and fun.’ What's the saying? ‘Father knows best.’
LS: What helped you to develop your voice?
BF: The projects I’ve been involved in. In the beginning my niche was historic cottages and traditional design. In recent years, I have been designing homes in the contemporary and minimalist style well enough that I have established a mini following. Fellow designers even refer potential clients to me if this is the style they desire.
