"The Shed House in the Malibu hills is deceptively simple. A long bar of rooms clad in gray-stained boards intersects a white stucco block to form a T. Both wings have monopitch roofs that tilt up to reveal treetops and mountains, and down to frame the ocean, a quarter-mile away. They give the house its name and impart a sense of motion. The Shed House is a fusion of architecture and nature, rooted in the luxuriant landscaping, and an instructive contrast to the showy mansions that erupt from neighboring hilltops."

Completed 2016. Malibu, CA.

Two perpendicular shed forms connect to become a new ground-up, poolside estate with entertaining spaces at the cross axis and bedrooms and private spaces at the extremities. The bars of the house create distinct indoor outdoor climatic zones—an ocean-view pool deck, a tropical jungle drive court with a mountain view lounge and an arid native garden with an outdoor kitchen and dining room.
