Says the architect "Home manifests itself at a variety of scales such as the sumptuous restraint of the 11,120 square foot residence at Beach Road reflecting the changing moods and needs of site and user. The house strikes a fascinating equipoise between solid and diaphanous, anchored and hovering, defying gravity and the mundane while respecting a conscious aesthetic rigor. Two-story high limestone walls ground the building within the gracious lot that affords generous views to the water. At the same time, post-tensioned concrete beams allow for the east façade to be pierced by multiple 10-foot tempered butt glazing with unobstructed views underscoring the sense of release into the surroundings."
