A 5,000 square foot home three story located in Coronado, California on a sloping lot with dramatic views of the yacht harbor and the Coronado bridge. The faced cladding was modified by the developer, but the basic concept remains. The vertical element on the right (office, dining, master bath) anchors two "floating" floors (living, master bedroom) supported on the left by a full height fireplace. The outside living room on the ground floor leads up to a south facing patio courtyard off of the kitchen. The home features a high velocity type mechanical system with heap filter. Motorized shades throughout the house are tied to a central server which automatically raises and lowers the shades throughout the day to mitigate for heat gain and UV. Views of the harbor and bridge from the entire second floor and courtyard are maintained by a fully open interior and full glazing on both sides of the living room.
