Nestled on a gentle slope, this home evokes classic mid-century California courtyard designs, emphasizing indoor-outdoor living. Its low-slung, rectangular forms open to maximize light and frame views of the Pacific coastline. The main level hosts daily living and entertaining spaces, all connected to the courtyard, pool, and outdoor kitchen through retractable glass walls, while the upper level contains private sleeping quarters. The stone-clad lower level anchors the home to the hillside, while the upper level, finished in fire-resistant composite wood, mirrors the surrounding tree bark. A koi pond at the entrance flows seamlessly into the courtyard pool, enhancing the home’s serene atmosphere.
