This beachfront corner home delights in the textural play of hard concrete, smooth glass and warm wood. Concrete structural elements, both open and closed, provide a frame for the introduction of open-feel glazing. Transparencies are mitigated with wood screening that alternately opens to the view and protects the residents from scrutiny while retaining a sense of light and openness from the interior.
An entry courtyard provides both a transition from the street and a private outdoor space that can either be open to the sky or covered for weather and privacy. A glass gallery connects the Master Suite and rear bedrooms, retaining that mix of transparencies throughout the home.
