The house is dramatically set on a bluff near Big Sur where it is tucked between Highway 1 and the California coastline. The design is something of a merger, bringing classic English country houses and modern coastal California homes together into one. The narrow, 2-story plan limits site coverage while providing spectacular views over the bluff edge to the natural features that line the coast. The house features a nice collection of regional art and antiques. The design also involved restoring native landscaping on the property surrounding the house which had been compromised prior to the owners acquiring the property.
