The “tide wall” at Big Sur is a headboard comp The “tide wall” at Big Sur is a headboard comprised of 52 walnut slats, each shaped by the undulations of one week’s tides from the Pacific Ocean below. Carving the organic ebbs and flows of the tides into the wood reveals the unique grain of each piece. Together, they catch the evening glow, creating a spectacular light show that feels like the sun shimmering on the waves. 📷 @joefletcherphoto Construction: @dowbuilt @constructionbyhuntsbrothers #BigSur #design #BigSurHouse #fieldarchitecture #fieldarchca #sandow #interiordesignmag #interiordesign #coastalarchitecture #residentialarchitecture #californiacoast #northerncalifornia #outdoorliving #natureframed

Thank you, Mead Quin for our time together and the Thank you, Mead Quin for our time together and the wonderful Q&A in HAVEN. We appreciated the opportunity to visit some of work together and talk about our process of designing in the landscape. "MQ: How do you know when a design solution is right? JF: When we look at a project and we cannot imagine it any other way. The architecture creates a sense of interdependence with the land, and the land accepts the building."

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.

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
