The client envisioned a simple, modern retreat surrounded by nature—but struggled to find a design that felt connected to the landscape without feeling exposed or overly structured. They also needed something compact, functional, and peaceful, without sacrificing comfort.

We designed a modest wood-clad loft nestled into a gentle hillside, oriented to capture ocean views and soft natural light. Minimal framing and warm, natural materials keep the structure light and grounded, while large openings let the outdoors in without overwhelming the space.

The home now serves as a quiet, restorative space that balances openness with calm. It’s a low-maintenance, design-forward getaway that gives the client exactly what they came for—simplicity, beauty, and a deep sense of place.
