Design Approach

The design process began with extensive site analysis, studying wind patterns, sun paths, and the relationship between the cliff and ocean. Early schemes explored various configurations before arriving at the pavilion concept, which allows the building to follow the natural contours of the land.

Sustainability was integrated from the start: cross-ventilation reduces cooling needs, thermal mass moderates temperature swings, and the building's orientation maximizes passive solar gain in winter while providing shade in summer.
