About The Project
Cliffside Courtyard Villa is a coastal retreat designed around a protected central garden, allowing the home to feel grounded in its dramatic Pacific setting.
The challenge
The steep site and exposed coastal climate demanded a plan that protects daily living from wind while keeping the ocean horizon present from every key room.
The Result
A series of sheltered courtyards and carefully framed openings creates a durable, deeply restful home that moves naturally from garden to terrace to sea.
