A steep coastal site taken in horizontal layers, with the pool held at the outer edge and the living level suspended above it.
The house works against gradient. Rather than terracing the whole site, it cantilevers the main floor so the pool edge and the view sit on the same line.
Built out over the fall, not into it.
The street elevation gives up almost nothing – a wall, a gate, a number. The volume only reveals itself from below, where the slabs read as stacked horizontal planes stepping out over the slope.
The pool edge sets the eye line.
Water is brought to the outer boundary of the deck so it reads continuous with the horizon beyond. Everything inside is levelled to that line.
The interior is kept deliberately quiet in material terms – pale stone, dark joinery – so that colour enters only through art and through the view.
Every sightline from the living level to the water was tested in visualisation before the slab levels were fixed.
