The Goal
To design a vertically efficient, three-story island home that maximizes living space on a compact lot — incorporating a junior ADU, an elevator for convenient multi-level living, and a rooftop deck that opens the home up to ocean breezes and island views.
The Details
The ground floor is organized around an open kitchen, living, and dining space with bi-fold doors that open directly onto a front patio with a built-in fire pit. The second floor houses the primary suite with a freestanding soaking tub, walk-in closet, and private balcony, along with an additional bedroom and junior ADU suite. The third level opens onto a generous covered and uncovered rooftop deck — the crowning feature of the home — offering a private outdoor retreat above the rooftops of Balboa Island.
The Materials
A textured natural stone veneer wraps the ground floor, grounding the home at street level. Above, smooth white stucco walls are paired with black-framed glazing, wood eave detailing, and a dark standing-seam metal roof. Glass and cable guardrails at the balconies and rooftop deck preserve open views while maintaining the home’s clean, contemporary lines.
