Glass house on an ocean hillside.

A long glass pavilion under a clerestory roof, set into scrub oak above the Pacific. Built from five reference photographs and a plan sketch into a full site model, then lit for the blue hour so the interior reads as a lantern against the sea.

How it is built

Every image starts as a model checked in clay for form, proportion and contact shadow, then is finished with materials and lighting. Step through the stages.
