strand house

An interplay of wood, concrete, and glass in layered forms create a variegated residential experience. Domestic space transforms from intimate refuge to open concept when the first floor sliding glass panels are opened to the deck. The roof deck and balconies provide ample opportunities for indoor/outdoor living as well. And it wouldn’t be a real beach house without lots of room for surfboards.
