Our Belmar Residence, a block from the beach, will be wrapping up in the next couple months.
Pairing some progress photos from a recent site visits and earlier renderings, you can now really get a sense of how the house fits within the neighboring context AND what a great space the large roof deck will be, designed to capture whatever water and beach views we could.
Most of the siding and decking are in place now, and the cedar slatting and trim details are in progress. The slatted details serve both practical and aesthetic purposes. They offer some privacy at the decks from the street, while maintaining a sense of lightness and openness, and they work to break down the volumetric form, providing relief and detail. The trellis (or brise soleil) over the second floor windows will also offer shade, to reduce solar gains inside the house.
