photographed by cristóbal palma, the building is clad with dark timber boards that enclose a series of private spaces and direct views towards the crashing waves.
the main feature of the design is the huge kitchen, dining and living space that opens out to the pool and the horizon beyond.
the house consists of three separate brick volumes set above a continuous living space on the ground floor.
the renovation preserves the original masonry façade but carves out a new world inside, one which prioritizes light, space and openness.
Very nice large home with lots of room only thing left is the vents must have the right ac units.. gotta come see.
Pete: great comment/observation. Very possibly the architect had little control. one never knows what will happen after a house is turned over to a client. And landscaping always gives way to other cost over-runs 🙂
Ya to the above. Such a contrast between the landscaping and the natural surroundings, inconsistent with the sketches and finished form of the house. The boulders are incorporated into the house but eradicated from the yard. Possibly there is a limit spatially and temporally to the architects influence. Like, when the house is done someone else took over and did the garden.
hate to be picky (because it’s so obvious what any amount of money can buy) but although the boulder is included well, the building looks almost it is being excluded from the landscape. The surrounding landscape/fauna is so beautiful why would you put an english lawn around it all? totally different suburban thought. just seems as if the whole could be incorporated into the landscape a bit better if they bought a set of besian curves and a local plant guide.
the free sketches are very nice and suggest the landscape is better included
this is wonderful. congrats.
nice…love it…and the sketches are even better…
