The house mediates between grounded courtyard living on the north and a dramatically cantilevered edge that addresses the enviable water views to the south.

Its interior carefully configures a program of bedrooms and service spaces, with vaulted skylights carved within the original roof expanding several spaces to light and sky. A sharply folding intermediary form spatially unlocks a compressed front hall while all... Mais
