Scripps Canyon Residence
Sited between two huge Torrey Pine trees on a very narrow lot, transparency and privacy are juxtaposed for the design of this private single family residence. It is axially east-west transparent glass, and north-south private concrete. It is carefully articulated to meld with neighboring homes one third its size.
Our goal was to maximize the ocean and whitewater canyon view, give privacy from the close neighbors, and create indoor/outdoor flowing spaces protected from the wind. The major axis of the home points directly to the only white water view far below in the canyon. This axis is the circulation spine and organizing design element for the house. The spine is articulated with exposed concrete panels and it forms the backbone of the house. Surprises occur in both directions as one circulates from the spine.
