* Residential Architecture: Beach House Q by Longhi Architects

Residential Architecture: Beach House Q by Longhi Architects: “..Infinite rolling dunes from the desert to the East and rocky Pacific Ocean cliffs used by fishermen to the West converge on the site of Casa Q, creating a unique natural environment..a “floating volume”..is supported by circular columns placed by intuition, as a dance, instead of forcibly in a grid. The dancing columns are accompanied by sliding glass panels that define the common area of the house; the living-dining and terrace are integrated or separated by the option to open or close the glass panels depending on social and weather conditions..”  Extensive glazing, indoor/outdoor sensibility, interesting interior volumes, lovely views..
