With unobstructed views of the pacific ocean, down 25th street, this new custom modern R1 home is taking the foot print of the existing R2 duplex. The inclined driveway, leads to a subterranean two level tandem garage. with two hydraulic lifts. this garage then has the space to store four vehicles. The front set back has been pushed back six inches to allow a 6′ high enclosure on the street frontage. the offset pivot door on the facade opens to a three story void that is topped off by a 5’x10′ operable skylight that acts as a chimney flue to release hot convention currents that cools the house passively.
