The Cresta is an energy-neutral 5,300 square-foot single-family residence designed and constructed entirely out of cast-in-place concrete on a 5,000 sq. ft. lot in La Jolla, CA. The house’s three stories are accented by floor to ceiling glass and large open expanses to the outdoors.
Typical adjacent properties are four times the size, therefore every square foot was important to maximize. The delicate roof forms an exterior private courtyard space while the buildings overall form is kept intact.
A reflecting/swimming pool at the front of the structure and along the living areas is integrated into the overall design of the project for cooling and creates the perception of floating.
The 6.5kw solar array on the roof supplies 100% of the homes required power due to the large expanses of operable glass, thermal mass of the concrete, sun shading. This is possible due to the energy efficient appliances; high SEER-rated HVAC, and LED lighting.
During construction of the project every aspect of construction waste was minimized. If construction waste did exist it was monitored and sent to recycling centers. This also created a safer and more accelerated work environment. This home was completed in 9 months from start to finish.
