Ember

Beneath this monolithic plane, a private refuge forms in the compressed space between mass and earth. The interior regularity contrasts the curving dunes among which the building floats. Its materials throughout reflect the wood, sand, and stone that are the foundation of the wooded coastline.

Heavy interior walls establish a haven within the seascape, while the light glass exterior allows for almost complete integration between interior and exterior and uninterrupted views of the Pacific Ocean.
