HA Residence
An exterior residential precedent showcasing cantilevered wood-lined overhangs and stepped balconies designed to maximize coastal ocean views.

- Geometry
- Multi-level stepped terraced massing oriented toward coastal views, featuring deep cantilevered roof planes and stacked balconies.
- Facade system
- Curtain wall glazing paired with wood panel cladding and smooth stucco wall planes.
- Structural guess
- Steel or reinforced concrete framing enabling deep cantilevers with wood finishes.
- Spatial scale
- Multi-story single-family residence scaled to fit within a dense suburban coastal infill fabric.
- Lighting
- Bright afternoon sunlight casting strong horizontal shadows under deep overhangs with clear sky glare on the ocean horizon.
- Atmosphere
- Warm, sunny, and breezy coastal openness paired with sheltered wooden shelter.
- Environmental context
- Coastal residential neighborhood on a sloping street overlooking the ocean and beach.
- Spatial experience
- The approach steps up from the coastal street, transitioning from open public walk to layered outdoor living decks and sheltered overhangs.
- Composition rhythm
- Horizontal layering of timber planes, glass balustrades, and terraced retaining walls stepping down the slope.
