The project
West Edge Architects kept the layout of this ocean-view house but transformed it completely. The old roof was replaced with a curved roof that makes room for clerestory windows at the heart of the house, and the front was rebuilt so the main living floor could be lowered for taller rooms.
Glass doors and clerestories open the house to ocean views and breezes. The living and dining rooms open onto a patio facing the ocean, with planted terraces stepping down to the street, and the kitchen moved to the centre of the plan.
