Located on a 1.5-acre coastal site, a new single-story residence and accessory dwelling unit are oriented to stunning ocean views. Watch a fly-through video & see more photos here. Butterfly copper roofs tilt up to invite daylight in and expand site connections and vistas. Planted low-slope roofs add insulation and habitat. Rooftop solar photovoltaic panels offsets anticipated energy use. Modern home architecture.

Transformable glazed façades fully open inside to out, expanding the indoor living area to covered courtyards and patios. Mature olive trees provide dappled shade and new coastal vegetation merges with existing native bluff plantings. The exterior material palette includes exposed steel structure, integral color plaster and travertine walls, limestone paving, stained cedar ceilings and stave cladding. On the interior, radiant heated limestone and white oak floors add warmth to the approachable and refined material palette.

Special thanks to all project collaborators.
