Where the Line Defining the Interior and Exterior Moves Freely | Casa 388

Casa 388 was designed with a suspended horizontal plane that integrates with the natural environment. The house is developed on split levels connected by ramps, creating a fluid circulation between the interior and exterior spaces. The design emphasizes interaction with the surrounding green space, capturing the landscape and offering continuous views. Under the large roof, the social area is open, while the bedroom area shelters the cars. An inclined green terrace ensures privacy and directs the gaze towards the sky, harmoniously connecting the spaces.

  • Shepard Mesa House

    Located on a steep Cherimoya orchard in the foothills of Carpinteria, Shepard Mesa House is a new home for a young family of four. The neighborhood consists of dispersed homes along a single road leading up and around the crown of a hill. Sited diagonally to the contours of the hill, the house slopes with the natural fall of the land. Interior functions at three different levels are gathered under a single gable roof. Bedrooms at the lower elevations are nestled into the working orchard around them where the trees provide the most privacy. The living room, kitchen and dining area on the upper level opens downslope and affords the most expansive views. Neighboring homes are just out of sight as the view stretches out across the valley to the backside of Rincon Mountain. The siting, orientation, and plan take advantage of natural light and ventilation reducing the reliance on mechanical systems and creating a living experience in balance with the site.
