Oceanside Retreat - Leroy Street Studio
An exterior residential facade precedent by Leroy Street Studio showcasing horizontal massing, wood louver screens, and stone volumes set within an open landscape.
- What we like about this project
- The upper wood volume appears to float above the glazed central ground-level recess via a thin shadow line.

- Geometry
- Low-slung horizontal composition featuring a projecting cantilevered roof plane, dark wood-clad upper volumes, and light stone ground-level masses.
- Facade system
- Combination of vertical wood rainscreen, glazed openings, and limestone masonry walls.
- Structural guess
- Steel and timber framing with concrete foundation and stone shear elements.
- Spatial scale
- Two-story residential scale, extended horizontally across the landscape.
- Lighting
- Bright afternoon sunlight casting soft shadows across the lawn and highlighting the texture of the wood slats and stone.
- Atmosphere
- Serene and grounded, with warm natural materials interacting cleanly with coastal light.
- Environmental context
- Open coastal site with manicured lawns, low native grasses, and mature trees framing the structure.
- Spatial experience
- Approached across an open lawn and paved walk, the facade balances solid stone anchors with glazed openings framing distant views.
- Composition rhythm
