A full architectural and landscape vision for an ocean-facing lot: layered terraces, a vanishing-edge pool, and interiors that frame the horizon from every room.

The brief

The clients wanted a home that feels like a retreat every day of the week, sheltered from the street and completely open to the sea.

Our approach

We sculpted the program around the site’s natural contours, stepping the house down the slope so every level gets its own garden and its own view of the water.

The result

A residence that reads as quiet from the street and unfolds into light, water, and planting as you move through it.
