Silver Strand Beach House by ROBERT KERR architecture design
Silver Strand Beach House is a 2,500-square-foot family getaway located on the Silver Strand Beach, in the surf town of Oxnard, California, offering stunning Pacific Ocean views.
This contemporary house was completed in 2013 by ROBERT KERR architecture design.
From the architect:
“Located on the Silver Strand Beach in Oxnard, this house responds to extraordinary site conditions as a progressive revealing of a sculpted interior.
The bottom level is a mix of colored glass tiles that gives the appearance of lightness and incandescence. Cantilevering on 3 sides, the top level is sculpted to express openings and finished quietly to exaggerate its weight over the bottom level.
The 2nd floor is an expansive and complex composition of intersecting ceiling planes, framed openings and ocean views. Major formal manipulations are the result of the site’s intersecting views from the Channel Island Marina to the Pacific.
The roof and ceiling forms are manipulated to magnify and contrast these views. This primary view-expression cuts diagonally as a continuous ceiling vault. Secondary ceiling expressions direct views to the beach, while shielding from less desirable directions.”
