Rayban House on Front of a beach

Rayban House on Front of a beachoffering uninterrupted views of the pacific coast, the ‘rayban house’ by californian design studio alejandro dacosta flows directly onto its beachfront location. the project emerged after living on the site for a year and getting to know the environmental conditions. the land itself provided many challenges, it is subject to constant winds and intense sun reflections due to its exposed position. the main idea was based on creating an outdoor living space that was able to be habitable throughout the seasons.

the terrace is protected from the wind by two lateral mounds that are part of the existing topography
