Project Brief
The best works of architecture often possess characteristics of seemingly opposing forces. This can be seen in homes that simultaneously express both boldness and modesty. Power and minimalism. Modernity and Timelessness. Working with well-traveled clients, this home unapologetically anchors this corner lot while turning to face ocean views. An internal courtyard with spa, provides a quick retreat from the surrounding activity. The material palette celebrates a raked stucco texture set against several layers of bleached wood. The home celebrates the walk street by positioning a beach room directly adjacent to a large patio mixed with landscape.
