The entry path leads to a protected alcove found through a tree lined public garden formed by the wood paneled garage wing and a book matched marble feature wall that defines the public and private sides of the central courtyard.

Upon entering the home the light filled stair and circulation spine frame views of the adjacent canyon chaparral which give way to the ocean horizon beyond as the great room wing opens to reveal the two distinctly unique outdoor spaces that surround it.

The richly textured, book matched marble wall of the inner courtyard serves as the backdrop to a peaceful outdoor living room that hovers above the ground plane, affording views through the house to the canyon and ocean beyond.

To the west a glistening pool defines the boundary of the ocean facing terrace and fills the space with gentle sounds of water spilling towards the house along the pool's infinity edge. There's no better place to spend the afternoon than right here.

Afternoon fades into evening and the setting sun falls across the hillside, wrapping the home in a warm blanket of golden light as it dips below the horizon. Today has passed, but tomorrow brings another chance to experience the home, the site, and the sun.
