Overlooking the Pacific Ocean, the home occupies a 20-acre site along
the coast of the Palos Verdes Peninsula. The project is a 15,500 square
foot complex with a main residence, study, guesthouse, and garage.
The design was inspired by the natural topography of the site and the
client’s interest in geology. Responding to the untouched feel of the
land and the geography in the area, the home’s floor levels cut into
the terrain, making the structures appear to be emerging from the
earth. The house captures a series of views that encourage the journey
through the site.
