Custom Residential
Under ConstructionLa Jolla Coastal Residence
La Jolla, San Diego
La Jolla, Elevated
This ground-up custom residence in one of San Diego's most iconic neighborhoods is currently under construction. La Jolla demands architecture that rises to the occasion — the setting, the views, and the expectations of the community all require a design that is both bold and respectful.
The home is built on a massive steel structural system that allows for expansive open spans and dramatic cantilevers. This structural approach opens the floor plan in ways that conventional wood framing cannot, creating living spaces with uninterrupted ocean views through floor-to-ceiling glazing systems.
Every room in the home is oriented to capture a specific view or light condition. The primary living areas face the Pacific, while more private spaces are shielded and focused inward toward courtyards and gardens. The result is a home that offers both spectacle and intimacy — public rooms that celebrate the ocean, and private rooms that provide genuine retreat.
The material palette is deliberately restrained. Concrete, steel, glass, and natural stone form the primary vocabulary — materials that have the visual weight and permanence that a La Jolla residence demands. Warm wood elements provide counterpoint and softness, preventing the home from feeling austere.
As construction progresses, the home is already beginning to reveal the power of its site and the clarity of its design. When complete, it will stand as a testament to what's possible when architecture, engineering, and setting come together without compromise.
