This project, located within the Camino Del Mar 'beach community', posed an interesting challenge. The project sits within the low lying areas of the San Dieguito River flood plain which required that the building finished floor be set at an elevation 7'-0" above the existing grade. Our goal in dealing with the flood plain requirements and the floor area restrictions was to create a simple, efficient plan that would maximize light, air and privacy, as well as have a strong connection between indoor and outdoor living. We have chosen durable materials appropriate to the neighborhood context that would perform well under a marine environment and satisfy the client's desire for an "autheticity of materials" with a contemporary aesthetic.

This Duplex in the sought after Highlands neighborhood is a contemporary, energy efficient development that qualifies for a LEED for Homes 'gold' certification. It is designed to make a positive, sustained impact on homeowners and the environment. For air quality, carbon footprint and high quality materials, these homes are designed with all aspects of comfort and quality in mind.

The open living room connects to the dining room with views into the more enclosed kitchen. This allows the cooking to happen in an efficient and less visible environment, while still maintaining sight lines so those cooking don't feel entirely cut off.
