A house on the bluffs of Mendocino.
The house is comprised of three units that are entered off a central courtyard. Each unit has three bedrooms, and is intended for a family of four. At the center of each unit is a courtyard, creating an outdoor space protected from the consistent winds on the bluffs. All the roofs are angled downward towards the central courtyard, ensuring good sun access.
The northern structure is a garage that has 3 tandem parking spaces. The central courtyard features a fire pit and provides a protected space for neighbors to hangout. The children’s bedrooms, kitchen, dining and living room are located on the ground floor.
The parents room is located on the 2nd floor and features a roof deck with a fireplace and ocean views.
The garage features a loft that provides a video studio for one of the residents. The garage features a large north facing window to minimize glare.
