THE RESIDENCE

A Dream Home by Tom & Bari Burman

This stunning residence is the realization of an eight-year dream for Emmy Award-winning make-up artists Tom and Bari Burman. Their journey to finding this haven began with a serendipitous visit that captured Tom's heart.

Located at the end of a private cul-de-sac, the property boasts a front-row seat to unrivaled panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean and coastline. Designed and owned by Emmy Award-winning make-up artists Tom and Bari Burman, “Casa Blanca” balances Tom’s love for thick, white walled Greek-style structures and Bari’s taste for modern design.

WELCOME HOME

Thoughtful Design

The home’s entrance greets you with soaring ceilings, spacious walls designed for large pieces of art and tremendous light.

The home’s south façade consists of numerous oversized Fleetwood sliding glass doors to maximize ocean views in every direction. The open design, tall ceilings and spacious rooms provide an expansive feel, while the radiant heated cement floors provide warmth and a clean, timeless, and contemporary feel.

Every detail of the home was thoughtfully contemplated including the staircase which allows light to pour through and the impressive fireplace flanked by floor-to-ceiling windows.

The breathtaking coastal views offer frequent sightings of migratory whales, resident seals and bird life making this a truly inspirational place to live.

More Mesa Shores

The serene environment of More Mesa Shores has provided the Burmans with the perfect backdrop for their personal artistic pursuits. With over 60 award nominations and numerous wins in their illustrious film careers, the couple has found a peaceful retreat to explore new art forms, including bronze casting and stone carving.

Watch the New Documentary Making Apes

For over a century, make-up artists have dazzled audiences by creating extraordinary characters and creatures on screen. 50 years ago, a group of ambitious make-up artists led by John Chambers and Tom Burman ushered in a new era of cinema with their groundbreaking work on Planet of the Apes. Featuring interviews with the original make-up team along with artists who were influenced by them, actors who wore the make-up, filmmakers, historians and more, Making Apes tells the emotional and thrilling story of how Hollywood was changed forever.

“Coming here from that lifestyle and living in this wonderful place, this was our Oscar.”
