This architectural gem encapsulates our studio's cutting-edge design philosophy. Immersing ones self in this enchanting abode means becoming one with nature's grandeur, as the house harmoniously merges with the natural landscape.

There's something irreplaceable about the tactile connection to the materials, sketches, and objects that shape our designs. These essentials keep us grounded in the physical world, reminding us that great design begins with a hands-on approach.

Collaborating with @SeaVees, a Santa Barbara-based brand rooted in community and creativity, was a natural fit for us. Aligned with our shared values, we redesigned their two-story office to be more than just a workspace—it’s a hub for collaboration and growth.

Working with local craftspeople allows for a genuine connection to the community and an appreciation for unique, handcrafted elements. Their ceramics not only enhance the visual appeal of the spaces but also add a tactile, human touch that resonates with guests.

With the iconic Airstream as a starting point, we looked to modernist masterpieces for inspiration. This resulted in the clubhouse's clean, rectilinear planes complementing the surrounding landscape and setting the tone for the polished rural retreat.

Located in the Sierra Nevada Mountains, this Off-Grid Cabin cantilevers over granite boulders and offers a scenic view of the local lake. With 180-degree uninterrupted views, this project blurs the lines between the interior and exterior landscape.

The building's weathered steel facade, with its rich patina, embodies the duality of rawness and refinement. This contrast creates a visual narrative where the natural aging of the material enhances its rugged beauty, juxtaposed against the building's clean, intentional lines.

In an effort to blur the line between the built and the unbuilt, the house was designed like a glass peninsula, with three-way operable glass walls that summon various ocean vistas depending on the time and the tide.

Its simple yet impactful lines and stark white exterior mark the architectural design. This creates a stunning contrast and harmonious balance with the natural warmth of wood details and the richly textured surroundings.
