Openness and transparency are the hallmarks of this hilltop house. Floor-to-ceiling fenestration frames views of San Diego and the Pacific Ocean, creating a Californian indoor-outdoor experience. FSC-certified sustainably-harvested wood endows the interior with a tactile warmth. Year-round natural ventilation from the sea passes through the house and exits via high-operable windows at the front, rear, and stairwell of the residence.
