Shell House

Shell House

Tucked along the shoreline of the Dana Point headlands, the Shell House draws inspiration from the sea. Its form is evocative of marine life without being literal, a series of nested, interlocking shells that define the home’s volumes.

These sculpted forms create vertical light slots and clerestory windows, inviting daylight deep into the interiors and filling the spaces with a luminous, ever-changing atmosphere.
