An early study of a residence that follows a steep coastal site, turning its principal façade and broad deck toward the southwest ocean and sunset.

Revised rear courtyard at sunset: a single deck-level pool beneath the second-floor cantilever, terrace and green yard beside the glazed house, and ocean beyond

Form through the hillside

The first concept studies how horizontal living levels can occupy the slope without losing a clear relationship to the terrain. Broad glazing and continuous balcony edges open the rooms toward the southwest ocean view, while stairs connect the different elevations. The revised rear yard places a single deck-level pool beneath the second-floor cantilever; a terrace and planted lawn continue beside the long glazed wing. A generous southwest-facing viewing deck sits above the eight-car garage, conceived to hold the owner’s car collection.

These views record an early design exploration. They show the proposed massing, roof outline, courtyards, terraces and hillside relationship at this stage, rather than a final construction scheme.

A single pool beneath the cantilever gives the rear courtyard room for a deck and planted yard, while the living spaces and garage-top deck face the southwest ocean view.
