outhern California's coastal views are truly magical
and this house was clearly designed to honor the
beauty of the sublime landscape here. e owners,
a retired couple, already had their own dwelling on this
fabulous, hill-flanked sloped site, which offers sweeping
views of the Pacific Ocean and is surrounded by a wide range
of flora and fauna, but they asked architect Dan Weber,
founder of Anacapa Architecture in collaboration with Steve
Wilson from Wilson Design, to create a guesthouse. e
new 800-square-foot project consists of two board-formed
concrete and glass structures that overlook the ocean (each
with one bedroom and one bathroom). Due to the need to
account for a number of necessary criteria—especially in
regards to minimizing the environmental impact through
sustainable techniques—the project took six years to
complete. It was, however, worth the wait.
