The cottage was designed as a weekend getaway for a busy city couple and
their small children. The narrow site faces the ocean towards the east and is
surrounded by dense residential development and medium rise apartments.
The design raised the ground floor living area to take advantage of the
diagonal beach views that exist at the raised level. The central void area was
incorporated to allow afternoon light to penetrate the east facing living spaces.
The main living area has sliding doors that open back to allow the internal
spaces to interact directly with the external terrace that runs down to the
beach.
