The Laguna Beach House

Situated in one of the West Coast's most iconic beach towns, it showcases the true meaning of “business and pleasure”. A stunning retail and entertainment space, offices for staff that want a break from HQ and even a 2 bedroom guest house - all with ocean views.

Business & Pleasure Co., founded by a pair of stylish Aussies, has a natural ease to it, with a 1950s-meets-modern-sensibilities aesthetic. “We definitely resonate most with those who have a love of vintage aesthetics—design of the days gone by—and frequent beachgoers traveling the nostalgic dream,” says Ollie Edwards, co-founder of Business & Pleasure Co. The prints and patterns in its line of umbrellas, beach chairs, bags, and more feel fresh but rooted in a sophisticated sense of classicism.

In celebration and pursuit of this ideal beach aesthetic, Business & Pleasure Co. opened the Beach House in Laguna Beach, CA. “I actually used to live across the street from this beautiful building years ago,” Ollie says. Back when the building was a nursery, Ollie couldn’t help but admire the space. “I knew the building had such great bones. It has a very beachy feeling that represents B&P so well. All we needed was a little interior design.” Enter Cydney Morris, the mind behind interiors firm The Foxalow and Ollie’s wife. Cydney’s work is a love letter to classic California breeze.

Cydney’s vision for the Beach House was simple: Use the color, prints, and patterns of the Business & Pleasure Co. collection as the jumping-off point. Business & Pleasure Co. umbrellas stand at attention, ready to be plucked from their stand and taken to the beach. Walls of chairs act as art, splashing the room with color and pattern. “We wanted to take into consideration all the different stripes and patterns,” she says. “We did lots of creamy whites with neutral tones like terracotta and light pinks with hints of a pale green.” Creamy colors played off natural, beachy textures to give the office a more layered look.

Just steps from the Pacific Ocean, the Beach House serves as a host of spaces—office, showroom, conference space—for the Business & Pleasure Co. team. Cydney designed the space to fit whatever needs the team may have. The best part of the Beach House, though, is the outdoor space. “When we moved in, the first thing we did was move the conference room to the upstairs patio,” says Ollie. “It certainly makes the more mundane meetings of the week all the more enjoyable by sitting under some B&P umbrellas with a beautiful ocean view and sea breeze.”

The Laguna Beach House is open daily.
