A 3,000 sf spec residence maximizes its narrow site through an expansive array of telescoping glass doors. Set to one side of the property, the home’s interior spaces expand into side and back garden patios, where a lap pool reaches past the residence. Above the pool, the home’s second story volume extends over the patio and water below. An oculus in the cantilevered volume overhangs the water, while providing a play of light.
Stepping stones define a path to the over scaled entry beside a concealed garage. Ascending three steps to the entrance alcove, a window peeks over the side yard pool and a skylight hovers above the stairs’ double height space. From that threshold, and past the staircase to second floor bedrooms, the loft-like living area sits two steps down, which opens to the gardens and pool beyond.
