this project transforms an old beach bungalow into a contemporary coastal retreat through a carefully integrated addition. the design contrasts the original structure with clean horizontal lines, cantilevered volumes, and a restrained palette of wood, concrete, and glass. expansive glazing and upper-level terraces maximize ocean views and natural light, while layered screens and overhangs provide privacy and solar control. the addition enhances indoor-outdoor living, creating a seamless connection between the home, street, and beachfront landscape.
