The result is a bright, Portuguese home designed in a clean, formal style, where contemporary interiors exist in harmony with the house’s historical shell.
New pine and spruce wood from the Pyrenees (both recyclable and PEFC certified) were selected for the façade of the 1,000-square-foot prefab. Smart blinds cover the windows, rigged to open and close depending on the weather forecast.
This net-zero residence by CitiZen Design Studio features Western Window Systems chosen for energy efficiency. The Series 600 Multi-Slide 90-Degree Door is architecturally eye-catching, meeting at a right angle in the home’s great room, and features dual-paned low-E glass.
The home is elegantly set into its surroundings and overlooks a serene garden patio with a koi pond.

Adjacent to the cabin is a spacious deck that is raised above the ground on wooden stilts.
The new construction relates with the land in a very spontaneous way, taking advantage of its steep slope, the small stream, and the extraordinary view of the landscape.
Large openings and a two-bay screened-in porch further emphasize the connection between the indoors and outdoors.

Resysta decking surrounds the pool. A second charcoal-colored structure houses equipment, storage, a kitchenette, as well as a covered seating area.
Energy efficiency was a guiding design principle behind the project. The house is powered by thirteen large solar panels as well as deep geothermal wells. All the mechanical systems can be monitored and controlled remotely.
A terrace and pool at the back of the house allow the homeowners to enjoy the clement weather.
The limestone-encircled pool was updated as part of a broader landscape renovation.
The architects suggested fitting in a new pool in the yard, much to the delight of the owners' children.
In homage to the traditions of Richard Neutra and Gregory Ain who built extensively in the area, the form of the 2,600-square-foot house, which includes an outdoor pool, emerged from the concept of building incrementally upward in steps along the slope.

"My client’s highest priority was building a pool," says Hannah. "The property had 2 flat acres—rare in this neighborhood—which was ideal for a pool. We were able to do a very simple and modern granite pool with a beautiful contrast of concrete and decking... and still have room in the back yard for a giant vegetable garden."
There is even a private meditation garden off the master with a zen pond, waterfall feature, and a hot tub.
The excavated material has been used to shape the property's exterior features.
Glazed walkways link the two volumes over the ponds.
"The simple shape was extruded lengthwise along the site and sliced down the middle with a pond to form a central axis," say the architects. "Slender, cathedral-like spaces were formed around this central thoroughfare with ponds running parallel to walkways to link the spaces."
The master bedroom terrace includes an outdoor shower to the north and a koi pond to the south.
The house is oriented toward the Aegean Sea. Floor-to-ceiling, glass sliding doors flood the home with plenty of Mediterranean sunshine.

Studio Otto Felix opted for a Light Steel Frame system to minimize site impact and eliminate the need for concrete or bricks.
The home appears to float above the natural pool, adding an element of whimsy.
Beyond the living room and deck, a natural pool filled with koi fish serves as a unique focal point of the tropical garden.
The outdoor space fully enables indoor/outdoor living.
When setting out to buy a home, always make sure you find a local realtor in the area you want to live in.
The largest of the three courtyards includes a swimming pool and hammock—an ideal spot for rest and relaxation.
During the day, light and shadows create abstract forms along the facades of the courtyard, providing different perspectives as the sun passes over.
The geometric volumes reference local building traditions.
A quiet reflecting pond lies directly outside the master suite. The exterior siding passes onto the interior, creating a seamless connection between the two spaces.
The design was also driven by a desire to open the public spaces up to the sky and maximize both the views and the green space in those parts of the site not occupied by the building’s footprint.
In this view, one can see how the curved addition makes space for an outdoor seating area with a fire pit, and eventually meets the clapboard form of the original house.
On the western side of the home, the brick addition becomes sinuous to carve out leisure spaces in a new private courtyard, which is entirely enclosed by a white brick boundary wall. Large openings to the interior ensure seamless indoor/outdoor flow for the homeowners.
The home is organized around a series of four outdoor courtyards.
Amenities include a pool with a waterfall and a sunken tennis court.
An old cistern found on the original site is now a black concrete plunge pool.
Sophie and Colin enjoy their new pool, the only non-solar-powered portion of their home in Venice, California, created by their father, architect David Hertz. Read the full article here.
Located between the courtyard and the home, the shallow linear pool on the north-south axis is reflected by mirrored-finish panels.
