Nestled along the California coast, this Manhattan Beach residence embodies modern coastal design — open spaces, clean lines, and uninterrupted views. The challenge? Incorporating reliable fire protection without compromising aesthetic integrity.
Plumis is completing its first Automist installation in Manhattan Beach for approval by the City of Los Angeles following a major home renovation that triggered the requirement for a residential fire sprinkler system under local code. The homeowner, undertaking a 50% remodel, was concerned about the potential for catastrophic water damage from traditional sprinklers and sought a smarter alternative.
Automist was selected to deliver code-compliant fire suppression that blended seamlessly into the home’s sleek interior. Unlike ceiling-mounted sprinklers, Automist’s wall-mounted nozzles maintained the designer’s vision while offering responsive, intelligent protection.
With its compact design and connection to the domestic water supply, the system required no large storage tanks or invasive plumbing upgrades. The result was a solution that safeguards without sacrifice — proving that fire safety can enhance, not hinder, modern architecture.
