LEFT: To create a telescopic viewing device that frames views, we designed sheltering walls and a stainless steel shade device to guide the eye. The Pennsylvania
limestone walls establish a sense of permanence. The house's entryway and the master bedroom face east to take best advantage of the sunrise over the sea.
BELOW: Everything in the plan of the island house is part of our design for optimal viewing conditions. Black volcanic rock from Indonesia lines the pool to keep
the water warm and match the deep blue color of the sea, further enhancing the views. Inside, the open plan contains comfortable seating, the dining table, and
an open kitchen with island, concrete countertops, and full-height cabinetry. To maintain transparency throughout the space, cantilevered treads jut out from the
stone wall leading up to the second level. Teak and glass pocket doors open the entire wall out to the patio and zero-edge pool. As an eco-conscious touch, the
house's air-conditioning system pumps the heat removed from the house into the pool.
