I pulled the support columns 3 ft. off of each corner to help open up the view corridors.

Butler-Shappee Pavilion, Front Porch & Master Retreat Addition

This project entailed creating a new pavilion, a new front entry porch and a new master retreat addition to a 1970's, hillside home in Ventura.

Status: Built
Location: Ventura, CA, US

At the front porch I designed a dropped ceiling to create a welcoming and intimate sense of entry.

I wrapped the additions with a low concrete ledge that acts as extra seating and loungin area.

The interior of the pavilion is naturally lit by operable skylights that also help with summer ventilation.
