Cliffside Residence
Structure Type
A cliffside refuge where land, ocean, and restraint align.
“Land ends, horizon begins, and everything else falls away.”
Perched along the rugged cliffs of Big Sur, Solace is a private coastal residence embedded into rock and landscape. The home is oriented toward the Pacific, allowing fog, wind, and light to shape the experience of space rather than separate it from its surroundings.
Completed in 2014, Solace is an exercise in restraint — architecture reduced to form, material, and alignment with the elements. It is designed as a place of retreat, where scale and exposure foster calm rather than spectacle.
