It’s sleek and modern, featuring floor-to-ceiling glass walls, timber and concrete materials, as well as a moss-covered roof so it blends in with the trees. While the home itself is amazing, the panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean are the real highlight. Perched 44 feet above the rocks below, the residents get a beautiful view of the water. Lastly, skylights bring in natural light, while a central pond in the home is filed with the site’s groundwater.
