The immediate proximity of this residence with the sea has resulted in a transparent, open façade treatment. Occupying a corner site, the project required designing its corner with a continuity between sea façade and side elevation while at the same time blocking side views towards the neighboring houses. The second floor recedes further back into the site so as to maximize the terraced area towards the view. The planted backyard at the interior corner of the inclined site becomes a more contemplative focus area for the bedrooms. This interior garden connects to the side street through a covered zone created by the hovering of the second floor above the first.
