David Ling ArchitectThe house is integrated in the surrounding natural
environment of beach and dunes. The large expanses of glass on the second floor
allow views of both very different bodies of water: the placid bay and ever
changing ocean.
The exterior mass of the main body of the house is composed of 3 parts, a cement panel clad bottom, a cedar clad roof/ceiling and sides, and thirdly, joining the two are the second floor glass windows. Horizontal cedar slats are placed to the sides, filtering the views to the neighboring houses.

Ehrlich Yanai Rhee Chaney Architects. The glass roll-up doors on the lower level allow spaces that are moderate in their square footage to flow uninterrupted into the exterior (both the central courtyard as well as a landscaped patio in the front of the property) to expand the livable area of the house without constructing additional square footage. The courtyard spaces moderate the warm summer temperatures and provide a comfortable micro-climate through lush plantings and running water. @Benny Chan
