SeaRanch III Residence, Malibu     On a 1.5 acre site in Malibu, a composition of positive and negative forms combine with the texture and warmth of shiplap cedar siding, trellises, and skylights to create a design that is at once dramatic and warmly inviting.  Creating privacy from the street, one enters the house before going through the door by way of a brick paved courtyard.  Once inside the front door, a stepped gallery running the length of the house separates sleeping and living areas.  Living, dining, kitchen and family rooms spill onto a west-facing terrace overlooking canyon and sunset views.  In this very comfortable and livable plan, the privacy of a 2nd floor master suite and deck captures the excitement of surrounding ocean and mountain views in all directions.
