Taking inspiration from the coastline’s eroded bluffs, this residence is conceived of as a mass carefully carved to form light-filled spaces for living. This process of choreographed subtraction provides a variety of outdoor terraces that frame and highlight the surrounding context, allow daylight and breezes to penetrate the home and seamlessly extend the enclosed interior spaces toward the sky and ocean. Partner Chris Johns served as the Project Designer and Manager for this project while working for ARCHITECTS hanna gabriel wells.
