JACOBS RESIDENCE
NEWPORT BEACH, CALIFORNIA
The objective of this project was to provide the owner of this ocean front property with a renovated vacation home they visit four times a year, and rental income the rest of the year. The owner required materials suitable to the ocean environment with a construction budget of $350,000.
The lot configuration is long and narrow, typical of this beachfront location. In order to create architectural interest, the massing needed to be vertical. The voids created within the vertical elements would become outdoor living spaces in forms of patios, balconies, entry statements and roof decks.
Three significant building materials suitable for ocean conditions were used. First, were concrete masonry units for their durability, affordability and aesthetic value. A smooth exterior plaster, an impervious material to combat deterioration, was used. Finally, wood windows provided the color contrast, geometric elements for this project and a 10-year warranty.
