Design and Build Collaboration: Erazo Inciong Designs Co and Ritchie Roy F RoncesvallesSituated
on a highly sloped lot, the goal was to provide the clients with accessibility
while providing a hidden oasis enjoying the full view of the sea. It is a
product of the combined charm and elegance of the materials and the simplicity
of lines facing the sea.

The
contemporary design simplifies the plan by the introduction of an entrance foyer
of high ceiling and relocates the living areas facing the sea on 2 floors. Louvered
canopy around the living areas gently illuminate the viewing deck with southeastern
light and encourage natural ventilation for whole house can “breathe”.
Extensive operable full-height glass windows, simple concrete and stone
finishes and hardwood floors further strengthen focus to dissolve borders
between building and landscape.
