The Phoenix

Perched on a knoll in the Santa Cruz Mountains, this site embodies a profound sense of resilience, both in its design and its natural surroundings. After being ravaged by the 2020 CZY Lightning Complex Fires, the land is now in a phase of regeneration, with the house and vegetation rising together in a powerful metamorphosis. The design of the retreat, created through close collaboration with the thoughtful clients, reflects this transformative journey. The home is designed for versatility, allowing for various scenarios of use—whether it’s a space for quiet reflection, gathering with loved ones, or immersing in the evolving beauty of the landscape. The connection to the outdoors is paramount, with expansive views and a seamless integration with the surrounding nature, symbolizing the ongoing rebirth of the land and the enduring spirit of our client collaborators.

Bahao House

Designed with the concept of flow at its core, this home embodies a harmonious blend of architecture and nature, where every space is thoughtfully interconnected to enhance the living experience. The open-plan layout allows for a seamless transition between rooms, creating an expansive, fluid environment that encourages movement and interaction. Courtyards strategically placed throughout the home not only bring natural light into the interior but also serve as serene oases that invite the outdoors in. Geometric openings frame picturesque views and draw attention to the surrounding landscape, establishing a continuous dialogue between the interior spaces and the natural world. The result is a tranquil living environment where the boundaries between indoor and outdoor elements dissolve, fostering a sense of peace and connection to the environment at every turn. This home is not just a place to live, but a sanctuary where the beauty of nature is always within reach, creating a soothing backdrop for daily life.
