this californian private residence named ‘avocado acres house’ is a project that took cues from characteristic modernist homes. despite incorporating elements seen in architecture of the past, more current architectural factors regarding environmental sensibilities, sustainable and durability have been addressed throughout.

sited on a coastal infill lot, the single level home features a sloping, curved shed roof that dramatically unifies the pavilions around the interior courtyard space. surfside projects arranged the pavilions to seamlessly connect to the courtyard space evokes an illusion of a bigger space in spite of its compact footprint.

the layout of three pavilions are linked in a U shape where each volume programs directly the outdoor courtyard. sliding glass doors and clerestory glazing wraps around the main living space to provide an abundance of natural light and completely blurring the typical interior to exterior separations. the straight lines of the building juxtaposes with the distinctive curvilinear roof profile that visualizes from above, a semi-circle cut through.
