Nicole Sassaman of Nicole Sassaman Designs, Malibu, California, designed her award-winning entry for the Malibu home she shares with her husband and baby daughter. She has renovated and sold several residential properties in Los Angeles. She describes the house in Malibu as “a 1980’s wannabe Spanish villa with arches everywhere.” It is a project she holds close to her heart. Rather than resell it, she plans to live in the house with her family.
