Malibu Beach House

Richard Meier - Malibu beach house

The site for this house and guesthouse is exceptional in its size and the amount of ocean frontage it enjoys compared to other properties on this south-facing Malibu beach.
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.
