Ocean Sundial

Of modest size, Ocean Sundial is a vacation home for a family of five with older teenage children and extended relatives. Dune fencing inspires the architectural cladding. A ubiquitous built element, its association with sustaining coastal environments shines a positive light on this element. The building references this by the application of wire brushed Shou Sugi Ban fins. Stairs are arranged end to end. This allows the visitor to both realize and view the public top level ocean space upon entering the lowest level on the opposite, streetside of the home. With straight stair runs positioned end to end, the visitor can realize both destination and ocean sky upon entry.
