Located at the Sea Ranch on an infill lot, Turnbull Griffin Haesloop architect designed this 1,030 square foot house and 550 square foot guest house to create a threshold in the larger landscape, moving from the contained space of the hedge row to the open space of the meadow.
The owner requested refined detailing that would still feel comfortable within the context of the Sea Ranch. The materials are layered to reveal the steel and framing of the wood window wall. The white painted walls form the major walls and by reserving the exposed wood and steel construction for the shaped walls and bays, they could use the detailing to further reinforce the overall site and spatial experience of moving from hedgerow to meadow.
