With contiguous homes toward the North and the South, the house is composed around a Western yard, with every one of the rooms, including the lounge room, lounge area, kitchen, breakfast, family room and rooms sorted out around it. A progression of open air spaces was created with a specific end goal to weave a coherence of spaces and materials from the road to the water. Beginning at the secured passage way, the guest is locked in by the private open air front yard, which associate through the colossal room of the house to the back secured outside spaces that front the water sees.

The long and limited pool serves as the central component in the yard, much the same as the sculptural stair fills this need for the considerable room inside. In both outside and indoor spaces, the two slate dividers—the one surrounding the passageway and the one in the back that shrouds the BAR-B-Q –are in dialog with one another to underscore the coherence from front to back. The succession comes full circle with the wooden dock which brings out the passage patio of the same material. The same wood, Ipe, likewise outlines the geometry of the galleries on the second floor.

Vast anticipating shades consider ensured daylight to envelope each edge of the house. Clearstory glass enters the workplace range in the main room and the entrance territory to the kids’ rooms on the second floor. By and large, level and vertical planes of glass, stone, wood and white stucco are enacted by the infesting light to finish an indoor-open air combination of spaces and shape.
