The façade features traditional Mexican lattices, handcrafted in white concrete, providing privacy and creating captivating light and shadow effects. The interior courtyard, with a pool, fountain, and the iconic “papelillo” tree, forms the heart of the home, surrounded by tropical vegetation and majestic Parota trees, fostering a warm and family-friendly environment.

  • Suncrest Residence

    This new residence is located on a pristine site comprised of a mature douglas fir and pacific madrone forest, with occasional rocky clearings and several small ponds. Our clients desired a work of architecture that minimized site impacts while creating a work of architecture that utilized their favorite materials (wood and concrete) and connected them intimately with the land and the view. The home is situated where the forest gives way to a large rocky clearing with views to the sea. The structure is ‘wrapped’ around a prominent outcropping of rock and carefully situated to require a minimum of tree removal. The long, narrow footprint of the home allows every room a view of the sea while also retaining a strong connection to the surrounding forest.
