REMODEL OF 1967 HISTORIC MODERN HOME

Remodel of the ful interior and exterior of a 1970s home in a modern coastal vernacular,  with new design decisions being made in alignment with the original design intent, updated for the future. Architectural improvments to the interior and site create a greater connection from the home to the legendary surf break.  The angled and volumetric interior interventions are anchored on both ends of the site by new redwood decks, steps, and benches, which act to reinforce the project organziation and provide an enhanced continuity between the indoor and outdoor environments.

Thew home establishes greater connection to the site via opening up from the interior spaces out and extending the spatial logic of the home outward onto the site as a transitional deck / bench layer between the surf/sand and the interior experience. 



































The interior spaces open outward onto the deck , stepping down gradually onto the site.   The central atrium is reanimated by creating connection between spaces.

An interior layer of oak cabinetry inlays actively into the established architecture providing for novel forms of habitation throughout and within the structure . 









































The home continues to root itself to the site, extending into the future by extending its logic , both outward onto the site and inward, making spactial connections and refinements from within the home to create a continuous experience of space and light which connects to the wider experience of this very special corner of the coast.
