The home embraces indoor-outdoor living, with glass walls that slide away and the same flooring continuing from indoors to out (simply without grout outdoors).

Limestone flooring and wainscotting underscore the rammed-earth walls.

The design takes advantage of the naturally rising and falling topography to fill its lower level, a kind of non-basement, with natural light.

The panels were fabricated using sand quarried from the site, which was mixed with a small amount of cement and dried in layers, each showing a slightly different hue.

The home is built into its grassy-dune landscape (icluding a day-lit lower level) yet still appears to float over its terrain.

The terrace is a favorite gathering place. The house is positioned facing south to get the most sun exposure.

LIVE. LOVE. LOFT.
