Landscape

CACN offers four model types. Pictured here is their MOR.II - a one bedroom unit with 540 square feet plus a 300 square feet wraparound deck.

"We didn't want to put a lot of furniture out there," says Terry of the east terrace, adding that they sometimes bring the dining table outside for meals. "You can make it work with whatever you want."

The owners did not want window treatments that would obscure the views, so motorized privacy shades and insect screens were installed on the exterior. The polished concrete floor slab helps cool the home in the summer and retain heat in the winter.

The architects design for the backyard showcases an outdoor deck, bleacher seating, a lush grass area, and a deck with seating and a fire pit.

An outdoor shower just outside the primary suite is perfect for rinsing off after long, sandy days at the beach.

A wide brick patio leads to the main entrance, where a black-framed glass door opens to the sprawling, sunbathed interiors.

The team added a new deck and larger windows and doors to the garden level unit.

In addition to a lush lawn, the backyard also offers a partially covered seating and grill area.

The exterior is wrapped in weathering steel that echoes the color of the soil and allows the cabin to blend into its surroundings.

The clients desired a modern, streamlined retreat to escape the city.
