This design for a beachfront house is composed of four masonry towers that elevate the horizontal volume of living spaces above the dune. The plan is at once elegantly simple, yet layered to accommodate the varied spaces needed by a large family. The masonry towers house all services and support the steel structural beams that cantilever 14 feet at either end. Between each pair of masonry towers are the kitchen and fireplace, framing die living and dining spaces at the center of the house, with the bedrooms placed in the outboard cantilevers. Solid wood-clad closets close off the north and south ends to preserve privacy from neighbors to either side. Recessed into the valley between two dunes is a lower floor with garage, recreation room, and storage, illuminated by a continuous band of clerestory windows at grade. The east and west elevations of the elevated volume are entirely open, a wooden deck set in front of continuous floor-to-ceiling glazing. Full-height, fine-grained wooden lattice sunscreens pivot open, where they project horizontally to provide deep shade covers over the deck, and close down vertically to provide privacy from the road to the west, or security and hurricane protection to all openings.
