This house occupies a tight, pie-shaped lot a few blocks from the beach. Limited views and the close proximity of neighbors lead to an inwardly focused, courtyard scheme. Tilt-up, glass doors open the public rooms to the rear courtyard. A guesthouse and workshop define the edges of the courtyard and screen service yards from view. Cast-in-place concrete walls juxtaposed with light, channel glass panels define functional areas within the open floor plan. On the exterior, a polycarbonate canopy shelters a pivoting entry door and shades second floor decks from the southern sun
