We were asked to design a beach house for a family with grown children which would be flexible enough to meet current needs as well as any possible future family expansion. The steep site provided an opportunity to have a regular and efficient, single story volume on the north side, in keeping with the street side character, while growing to three stories on the downhill, south side. A garage and cabana was placed at the south end of the pool which screened the neighbors to the south, concealed the parking, and created an expansive feeling complex on a fairly modest sized site.
