Contemporary Padaro Residence, in Carpinteria, California; a fantastic composition of clean modern architecture that prominently features large expanses of glass to maximise wide stretching perspective of the beach and gardens.
The architecture rises around a central courtyard, which is screened from the sea breeze, providing a private outdoor space away from the neighbours and passing traffic. The surrounding daylight filled structure is cleverly divided into spacious wings, so that diverse inhabitants may enter and leave independently without disturbing others.
