A coastal California home where bold engineering, expressive form, and raw natural materials come together to frame the horizon and celebrate life adjacent to the Pacific.

A coastal California home where bold engineering, expressive form, and raw natural materials come together to frame the horizon and celebrate life adjacent to the Pacific.
Motivated by the ocean’s elements, every feature of this home is uniquely and innovatively designed to provide views of the horizon and integrate the true feeling of residing by the sea. The curving exterior wall waves into the home creating the fluid circulating theme of the interior space. Vanishing window walls instantly transform the inside space to an outdoor environment allowing the salty sea breeze to fill the home.
Marine Lair is a place where technology and nature beautifully coalesce. Wide steel beams provide support for the specially engineered rooftop pool while the cutting-edge hydraulic driveway allows for the lowest of sports cars to enter the garage.
This technology is sharply contrasted by the rugged materials used throughout the home, each possessing a unique story of its exotic earthly origin. Built entirely different than any other home in San Diego, Marine Lair is a true gem of the coast.
