Designed for a professional athlete and his young family, the Pacific Belvedere Residence embodies the essence of the casual Southern California lifestyle. The home is centered on an expansive great room that is bound by retractable 12-foot tall floor-to-ceiling sliding glass door systems. With far-reaching views of the Pacific Ocean to the west, historic Del Mar Racetrack to the north, and protected wetlands to the east, the space is the nucleus from which all indoor and outdoor spaces radiate.

​

In more private areas of the home, roof planes extend beyond architectural volumes and out over gardens to provide comfortable shelter for communal outdoor living. These protected outdoor rooms and play spaces are found throughout the property and serve as natural extensions of interior living areas. With its clean forms and lines, the home’s architectural palette of natural woods and stone add warmth against a backdrop of sun-washed plaster and board-formed concrete a simple, yet sophisticated selection of materials that will ensure timeless appeal.
