Description

''One of the 40 most important works of residential architecture in the last 120 years.'' * Iconic architect Barton Myers designed the first of his transformative, California steel and glass homes, for himself! On a 38+/- acre site of breathtaking beauty, with panoramic ocean and mountain views, he created a series of lofty pavilions, artfully integrated with the spectacular natural landscape, and designed to erase all the boundaries between indoor and outdoor living. The home, studio and guesthouse fully open to nature. At the press of a button, the front 'walls' of the structures roll up out of sight, through Myers ingenious, sectional glass doors, and extend the living space to expansive terraces with cantilevered canopies.

Supplements: Inside and out, the buildings mirror and absorb the magnificent scenery. The 16' high ceilings, clerestory windows and glass doors provide 360° degree views, and a constant interplay of light and nature. The hard surfaces of the steel framing are softened by a silvery finish and muted shades on the stucco walls. A shallow layer of recirculating water, on two of the flat roofs, is a brilliant insulation and fire resistant feature which becomes a cascade of reflecting pools that lead the eye to the shimmering Pacific Ocean beyond. At the edge of one roof, Myers has incorporated a 45' lap pool, which doubles as water storage. Barton Myers is one of the most acclaimed architects in the world. Every building he creates is an original work of art. This magical home, in its idyllic setting with mesmerizing views, may be his masterpiece.
