Interior designer Trip Haenisch, who has done homes for Courteney Cox, Christina Aguilera and Cher, recently completed a contemporary architectural home in Malibu that took its cues from the sand, surf and sky.

The result is a family retreat that is at once colorful yet serene, refined yet relaxed. Our extended photo gallery includes the master suite with TV hidden at the foot of the bed, above, and the living area, below.
