Eagle Canyon Residence

Location Gaviota, CA | Completion Date unbuilt

The coastal estate plan features a new residence that looks forward with a modernist vocabulary while incorporating an appropriate palette of Santa Barbara friendly materials, colors and forms. The single story low-profile massing responds to the community’s desire for buildings that do not detract from ocean vistas of the Gaviota Coast or the views of the nearby mountains which frame our coastal landscape. The interior entrance courtyard recalls the building organization of classical atria and allows the various rooms required by the client’s program to be strategically located, achieving an appropriate separation of public and private functions while keeping in mind the optimal hierarchy of spatial adjacencies. The plan strives to offer a variety of contrasting experiences, both communal as well as intimate, each taking full advantage of the natural landscape, ocean and mountain views.
