The combined effect is a varied landscape of interior spaces unified with a singular formal language. Similar to the paradigm of a shotgun house, the singular direction of the vaults maximizes the visual connection of all spaces within the deep building footprint, incorporating the exquisite exterior landscape of beach, ocean, and horizon into the depth of the building. While the program gradient flows from the main living and master suite adjacent to the ocean to the west to the inner courtyard, private study, guest and children's rooms to the east, the expansive views of the ocean are visible from even the most private spaces.

The house acts as a shutter throughout the day and filters the surrounding landscape, light, and views toward the ocean beyond.
