We carried the linearity of the vineyard rows into We carried the linearity of the vineyard rows into a free-standing timber and steel trellis at #SentinelRidge. This line echoes the cultivated/wild boundary in the landscape as well as the rocky ridge line, and serves as a tether that weaves the building volumes together. Bringing elements of each site's landscape and geology into our work is a grounding practice at FIELD.

The biggest challenges of a site can often inspire The biggest challenges of a site can often inspire its greatest design opportunities. At #PinonRanch a steeply sloping woodland dense with trees would have to host the new residence. Working our way from bottom to top, we studied the arrangement of trunks and branches along the slope until we found the perfect contour that allowed us to thread the house through the woodland without removing any trees. Using the gaps between each of the volumes of the house, the spaces in between become moments of pause that host outdoor living spaces, and a long and narrow pool framed by the nature.

Nestled into the dunes overlooking the Pacific, th Nestled into the dunes overlooking the Pacific, the house is bordered by large Monterey Cypress which frame the spectacular view. To elevate the home’s connection to the water’s edge, the glass sliders angle towards the surfline. This simple re-orientation of the house establishes a frontal relationship to the breaking waves and brings the living spaces in sync with the rhythms of the surf.
