SEASIDE RESIDENCE
A collaboration with EngineHouse design-build company, this small yet airy house was designed to capture the dramatic views and brightness of seaside living. Inspired by a weathering shipwreck that rests on the beach below, a material palette of finely-detailed and custom-crafted natural woods and metals provide a crisp, lofty interior that lifts the inhabitant high above the dramatic bluffs on which the house is perched.
