The design was inspired by the natural topography of the site and the
client’s interest in geology. Responding to the untouched feel of the
land and the geography in the area, the home’s floor levels cut into
the terrain, making the structures appear to be emerging from the
earth.
The house captures a series of views that encourage the journey
through the site.
Designed by Los Angeles-based architecture firm Marmol Radziner, this
beachfront home is just as exciting at its surrounding landscape.
The
Altamira Residence is a 15,500-sq.-ft. build including the main house,
study, guest house and a garage. Set on a sprawling 20-acre site along
the coastal edge of the Palos Verdes Peninsula, this unusual design
fronting the Pacific is clearly inspired by the oceanfront.
The undulating roof follows the natural lines of the waves and the local
landscape. Interiors too echo the natural environment, featuring
materials like wood and stone, and lots of windows, each framing a
different but equally amazing view.
