Malibu Beach House
Richard Meier – Malibu-California USA, 2002-2006
Year
2006
Architect
Richard Meier
The figure ground is designed to maximize the potential of the additional lot area which is a precious commodity. By splitting the program into separate structures, the beach’s sand and grasses are allowed to migrate into an entry courtyard as an extension of the landscape. Both of the structures have views to the ocean and courtyard that are filtered and framed by a layer of operable shutters that are independent of the building enclosure.
The houses are clad in teak, which also extends inside as floor and ceiling finishes. A cast-in-place concrete wall bisects the plan and is the physical link from the entry gate at the street elevation to the ocean gate and stairs leading to the beach. Detailed in bronze metal copings and finish hardware, the palette of materials – concrete, teak and bronze – is designed to weather and patina in response to the harsh oceanfront environment.
