Cutler Anderson Architects
A coastal architectural precedent featuring weathered vertical wood cladding that blends naturally into a dune landscape while framing expansive ocean views.
- What we like about this project
- A flush corner glass return meets the vertical wood siding cleanly with minimal framing.

- Geometry
- Rectilinear architectural volume clad in vertical wood boards, positioned alongside sand dunes and ocean horizon.
- Facade system
- Vertical tongue-and-groove or board-on-board timber rainscreen.
- Structural guess
- Timber frame or light gauge steel framing behind wood rainscreen.
- Spatial scale
- Single-story coastal pavilion volume scaled to human height relative to surrounding dunes.
- Lighting
- Bright direct daylight casting crisp shadow lines down the vertical board joints.
- Atmosphere
- Serene and exposed, capturing the weathered patina of maritime environments.
- Environmental context
- Coastal dunes with native grasses and wildflowers in the foreground, bordering a sandy beach and ocean under a clear blue sky.
- Spatial experience
- Grounded in coastal dunes with a stark contrast between weathered timber mass and open marine expanse.
- Composition rhythm
- Steady vertical rhythm of narrow wood boards contrasting with the horizontal bands of the beach and ocean.
