The Pebble Beach Residence is a 4,500 sq. ft. home located on the southwest side of Camano Island, Washington. The home is designed as a gathering place for the client’s large family. The children’s rooms and play areas are located to the south while the parent’s primary suite, office and hobby room are located to the north with the great room connecting the two areas. The great room’s multi-slide doors open onto a waterside terrace with an outdoor cooking patio.
The residence sits on a peninsula that juts into Saratoga Passage providing spectacular 270-degree views. The site presented a number of physical and jurisdictional challenges that had to be addressed. The property is within a shoreline designation that requires a 100-foot setback from the ordinary high-water mark. The steep slope hillside made it difficult to satisfy this setback. However, there was an existing house on the site. Since the required set back could not be met, the municipality allowed the new house to stay within the footprint of the existing structure. The existing house had an irregular footprint so the shape of the new home reflects that footprint. The land on which the home is built consists of loose and sandy soils that are susceptible to liquefaction during seismic events. To prepare for this, the foundation rests on 80 pin piles driven deep into the soil until bearing capacity was reached. Further accommodations were made to account for possible shallow land slide events on the steep hillside behind the house. The attached garage was built with 10’ high concrete walls engineered to withstand landslide impacts. The detached garage, also designed for landslides, was created out of board-formed concrete with a precast concrete lid strong enough to support up to 5-feet of saturated soil. The client decided to take advantage of this strength by utilizing the roof as a landing pad for his friend’s helicopter. The materials for the residence were chosen to minimize maintenance, extend life-cycle cost, and to provide durability in the harsh marine environment. Exposed architectural concrete, corten steel and stucco make up the siding materials with a standing seam metal roof. A green roof above the concrete entry is visible from the interior bridge. This aesthetic continues to the interior where exposed concrete, concrete floors and steel structural elements are expressed.
The clients added some of their own flair to the interior design to include the selection of the large light fixture and the use of leather treads on the stairs. Great care was taken in the space planning to create synergy with the site. Operable glass walls allow the interior spaces to open up to the exterior spaces and every room of the house has access to water views.
