The main living area is the first raised level, while the grade level is used for a parking garage and changing area for beach goers. The upper level contains an additional living area and Owner’s bedrooms. Wide overhangs describe the roof, which keeps both rain and sun from affecting indoor atmosphere. All bedrooms have a view of the ocean. The main living level can be reached through a grade level entry area, with an elevator and stairs, or by an exterior monumental stairway at the front of the home. In both cases, one arrives at the main entry. An open stairway leads to the upper floor, yet allows a glimpse of the ocean through the window wall at the family room beyond the stairs. This family room has a two-story ceiling. The aforementioned window wall uses all this area to let the ocean view into the room. The dining and kitchen area are both open to the family room, creating a large gathering space for the owner and guests. Guest bedrooms with connecting baths are to either side of the main area. This pattern is repeated above. A central play room overlooks the family room below and has the same view of the ocean through the 2-story window wall. The Owner’s bedrooms with private baths are to either side of the play room. At the street side of the house is a sun room. Its elevation creates a long view inland and lets in plenty of sun as it sets in the west.
