California House
Scheduled completion 2009
This family home with motor court, tennis court, pool, pool
house and yard on a 3-acre hillside plot enjoys spectacular views
across the ocean and through landscape. The clients' priority
is a gentle, comfortable living environment configured to give a strong
sense of human proximity which translates the essence of its
Californian context into architecture - through its materiality, its
proportions and the way in which the spaces catch the light and views.
The accommodation is arranged on two floors over a basement, with the
upper floor cantilevered to create generous shaded terraces.
