Many thanks to @sophlew_says and the team at est l Many thanks to @sophlew_says and the team at est living. @est_living REPOST: CLIFF HANGING DESIGN | Big Sur by Field Architecture⁠ Designed by father-son-duo Field Architecture and anchored within the extraordinary stretch of Californian coastline known as Big Sur, is a home that seeks dialogue between itself and the land. “There is a seamless flow between the spaces of shelter in the east, where the house burrows deep into the site’s topography, and more expansive spaces to the west, where the ground drops off and you feel like you are floating over the ocean.” - Field Architecture co-founder Jess Field Big Sur is where the land mass of the North American continent dramatically drops into the Pacific Ocean along the Californian coast. Stretching over one hundred and twenty kilometers from Carmel to Gorda, this remarkable coastline sits five thousand feet below the Santa Lucia mountains. With its globally renowned natural landscape, Big Sur brings focus to the daily cycles of the land, demanding attention and surrender from all that exists within its dynamic environment.

As they float on minimal touch points, the kitchen islands echo the small outcroppings of rock visible in the water off the coast. 📷 @joefletcherphoto Landscape: @jlja Construction: @dowbuilt @constructionbyhuntsbrothers #BigSur #design #BigSurHouse #fieldarchitecture #fieldarchca #coastalarchitecture #californiaarchitecture #caarchitecture #residentialarchitecture #californiacoast #northerncalifornia #outdoorliving #natureframed #kitchenisland #kitchen #kitchendesign
We settle into our understanding of a place by ret We settle into our understanding of a place by returning to it again and again with careful observation and sketches. The cliffs at Big Sur provide an endless source of inspiration, from dramatically angled forms to layered patterns of rock. We channeled these elements into the stone walls of the house to echo the formation of the surrounding landforms. 📷 @joefletcherphoto Landscape: @jlja Construction: @dowbuilt @constructionbyhuntsbrothers #BigSur #design #sketch #BigSurHouse #fieldarchitecture #fieldarchca #coastalarchitecture #californiaarchitecture #caarchitecture #residentialarchitecture #californiacoast #site #northerncalifornia #stone #PacificCoast #cliff

Thrilled to share that we received the 2024 Americ Thrilled to share that we received the 2024 American Institute of Architects National Housing Award at the AIA convention in Washington DC! Many thanks to the esteemed jury for this huge honor, and to our amazing team for the incredible work on Madrone Ridge. “The house, which melds its indoor and outdoor spaces successfully, has an ephemeral quality that allows it to blend into the landscape. Celebrating its structural system, and ensuring it remains a visible element, is a lovely detail.” Jury Comment 📷 @joefletcherphoto Interiors: @annlowengartinteriors Construction: @dowbuilt Landscape: @lutskoassociates Fabrication: @spearhead.ca #MadroneRidge #AIANational #serene #natural #moderndesign #modernarchitecture #californiahome #californiaarchitecture #architecture #landscapearchitecture #homeinspiration #architecturephotography #architectureinspiration #fieldarchitecture #residentialdesign #architecturephotography #goldenhour #oaks #oak #oaktree #fieldarchca #award #architizer #architizerawards
