Square Footage: 9294
Building Use: Single Family Residential
Location: Newport Beach, CA
Project Description:
This lot had amazing ocean and harbor views but was located directly above the Pacific Coast Highway and provided a unique design challenge to incorporate the clients need for entertainment space and maximized ocean views while mitigating the noise from PCH. An open floor plan with a strong entry axis draws visitors through the home to the expansive view. Cantilevered glass cubes project outward to capture unobstructed views of the ocean while still maintaining a buffer from the noise of PCH . The large cantilevered deck structure was pushed out to clip the view angle of the highway from the living spaces and its unique shape and material helps deflect noise. A day lit basement was also incorporated into the program to provide ample indoor- outdoor space at a lower level where there was more privacy and the ability to screen the noise with plantings and water features without obstructing the views from the upper floors.
