Designed by Christian Rice Architects, this elegant contemporary home is positioned next to a small public park on Coronado, a resort cityย in San Diego County, California. This strikingย project was named, Maison du Parc, designed to provide an open, airy, and bright place of respite for a busy couple. The homeowners requested the architects to create a home with simple, clean lines thatย embraced the idyllic temperatures of Southern California.
From the front exterior facade, the home interacts withย the outdoors through an elevated front porch with expansive sliding glass doors. Additionally, two walk-out balconies on the second level offers an indoor-outdoor connection. Both outdoor spaces are covered by a series of cantilevering roof projections. At the back of the residence, a pocketing glass door spills out onto a covered outdoor living area.
The dwelling also features a splash pool with decorative fountains, which offers a visually attractive focal point at the backย of the property. A spacious backyard offers the homes inhabitants plenty of space to entertain friends and family. Natural materials have been integrated throughout, infusing warmth into the contemporary design. These material elements include mahogany-clad roof eaves, natural limestone tile, and stained oak flooring, cabinetry and slatted partition wall.
