This waterfront home features an open, carefully day lit interior in a very compact shell. The openness to the beach guided the process of the design and selection of materials and finishes. A concern for the permanence and maintenance of the house led to a careful selection of ground-face concrete block, natural concrete floors, and metal windows and door systems and to the raising of the house on a solid base formed of stepping concrete terraces.

Level Three: The living room's fireplace, housed within a 12-foot-wide by 13-foot-high fireplace mass clad in mountain ash stone, creates a dramatic focal point in the room. Seating is designed to be flexible and comfortable, maintaining open spaces to enable clear views of nature through the windows. Photograph © Darren Edwards, San Diego

The modern day home theater + entertainment space. A true wow factor in this house! The steel and glass doors lead to the home's cigar room with a humidor installed. The game room has direct access to the outdoor living pool area. This room is large and bright with a black, herringbone barn door.

The focal points in this Master Bathroom are the generous skylight, plus a view to the private garden and outdoor shower. Room size: 13' x 19' Ceiling height: Vault from 11'6" to 14'8"
