Rockledge by Horst Architects:
It is
located in Laguna Beach, California, USA.
“Perched
atop the vertical face of a rocky, coastal promontory, this residence responds
directly to the owner’s brief for a relaxed family beach house where they could
engage family and friends, while also enjoying the views and natural
surroundings of the site. The mild coastal climate also created the opportunity
for the seamless integrate of interior and exterior space.
The design
solution consists of a main residence and a detached guest house organized
around a series of connected courtyards. Native, drought tolerant vegetation
forms the connective tissue of the various exterior spaces. Sliding, concealed
pocket doors and the continuity of materials both inside and out, help to
dissolve the boundary between interior and exterior space. Materiality and formal
choices were informed by a desire to root the structure into the site. Indoor
and outdoor living is orchestrated by balancing views with privacy, communal
space with intimacy.
Rockledge is a place of meditation where one can
contemplate the ocean and sky.”
