EAGLEROCK

​

A popular location for post- war, coastal, vacation homes, South Laguna still retains the many of the intimately scaled beach cottages from this era, along with leafy streets without sidewalks and streetlights. An 850 s.f. redwood, beach cottage built in 1948 stood on the site under a dense grove of eucalyptus trees when the current owners acquired the property.
 
The architect responded to the owner’s brief for a relaxed family beach house by blurring the boundaries between interior and exterior space. The open plan of the interior spaces addresses the transformation and flexibility required by the owners. The tactile materiality alludes to the historic context of this community. The spatial orientation of this home is both sheltering and expansive.
 
A shared interest in sustainability between the owners and architect led to a design that incorporates concrete floors to absorb the sun’s warmth in the winter, operable windows and large sliding doors to facilitate natural ventilation, a pool which acts as a passive cooling system and the use of low maintenance, recycled, eco-friendly materials.
