Warm Contemporary Coastal · Layered Texture · Indoor-Outdoor Ease
THE PROJECT —
Coastal ease, without the clichés
This San Diego residence was reworked to capture coastal light and create a more fluid relationship between the architecture, garden and outdoor living spaces.
Rather than relying on familiar coastal motifs, the exterior design layers tactile materials, warm neutrals and measured contrast to create a relaxed sense of refinement. Outdoor living spaces are composed as a natural extension of the home, with careful attention to material, proportion and atmosphere.
DESIGN PHILOSOPHY —
Core philosophy & architectural features
Architecture Shaped by Coastal Light
The exterior architecture was refined to make the most of San Diego’s natural light while strengthening the relationship between the home, courtyard and surrounding landscape.
Outdoor Living, Refined
Comfortable seating, layered materials and thoughtfully composed outdoor spaces create a relaxed contemporary environment suited to Southern California living.
Layered Material Contrast
Contrasting finishes, textures and tonal shifts add depth and character to the architecture without relying on predictable coastal design conventions.
A Cohesive Coastal Retreat
Architecture, materials, furnishings and landscape elements were considered together to create outdoor spaces that feel calm, inviting and connected to their setting.
