Sandcastle

Sandcastle

At the end of a coastal hillside road near Montaña de Oro State Park, this small home nestles quietly into the rugged terrain. Sheltered from view by the land itself, it feels both protected and connected to its dramatic setting.

A solid front wall frames the entry, providing privacy while anchoring the house to the hillside. Beyond, the structure rests lightly on a natural coastal terrace, preserving the surrounding rock formations and chaparral so the landscape remains the true focus.
