The surface runs deep

- By Neal J. Leitereg

This newly built Santa Monica home by designer-artist Mario Romano was born of a marriage between modern design and new wave technique.

Sheathed in pearl white, the three-story house captivates passersby with a 25-foot-high sunburst-patterned wall that was created using a 3-D printer. The unique elements are echoed inside, where textured and backlit accent walls create visual interest in an entertainm­ent room and bathrooms.
