Pools

The house and barn sit on the sloped meadow surrounded by redwood trees and with distant ocean views to the south. The swimming pool is below the main house, with a fire-pit to the side.

The breezeway acts as a point of organization and contemplation, linking the entry path to the pool and golden fields beyond.

These buildings take maximum advantage of their southern orientation and embrace a swimming pool on its own level 18 inches below. The north and west sides of the buildings, situated close to the oaks, experience both a connection to the trees and a contrast in light quality.
