Coastal House
Competition: Honorable Mention
Location: Los Angeles, California
Project Data: New Construction / 2,128 SF
Located on a narrow lot, 1-block from the beach in suburban Los Angeles, this house steps up the slope with a four-story structure that maximizes the amount of square footage allowed by the local zoning code and also provides views to the ocean beyond. The first floor is a garage and Foyer; the second floor holds the partially earth sheltered bedrooms; the main living spaces are located on the third floor to ensure a view of the ocean, and the fourth floor has a roof deck and home office. The west view from the Living Room is further enhanced with an operable glass wall, making the space feel like an open porch.
