L
ocated in Baja California, this proper embodies
how architecture can honor the beau of a
majestic, natural landscape. Divided in three
levels, the house sits on a sloping site, atop a rugged
mountain overlooking the Pacific Ocean.
Surrounded by the sublime environment, everything
starts on the top floor, where cars enter a court through
tall gates. Open stairs lead to the main living space
organized around an open plan, which comprises the
kitchen, dining room and lounge. is area has a curved
shape and many floor-to-ceiling windows that frame
the 280-degree views toward the ocean, ci and desert.
A large terrace with a floating canopy made of woven
bamboo creates a connection between interior and
exterior. e home's lowest floor features an infini pool
and another terrace, while the bottom stairs separate
the master bedroom suite on the west side of the guest
bedrooms and service rooms on the east side.
roughout this project, the Centerbrook team focused
on sustainabili: the roof hosts solar collectors, and
concrete covered in white stucco reflects the intense heat
characteristic of the environment while maintaining
cooler temperatures inside. What's more, the white
walls of interior spaces promote the proliferation of
natural light and minimize artificial illumination.
Astonishing and magnificent, the house pays tribute
to the surrounding breathtaking panorama both with
strength and sensibili.
