Sea and sky take center stage in this interconnected space

Our goal in designing this vacation home was to make maximum use of an outstanding location facing the Pacific Ocean with minimum intervention. The structure is simple, with a V-shaped footprint and shed roof, but the interaction of these two elements gives rise to a richly varied interior and exterior space.

Throughout the day, shifts in the natural environment are reflected in the living area. The building frames the landscape beautifully while itself becoming part of the landscape.
