Dune House designed by Cass Calder Smith Architecture + Interiors is an ideal dwelling, retreat and entertainment. Located in Stinson Beach, California, the house offers a very spectacular views and connects with the beautiful nature.

From the exterior, the house is impressive with the white horizontal wood siding. It is a reference to beach houses that have traditionally been white. Obviously, white walls set against dark-framed windows evoke a distinctly modern appearance. Also, a multi-leveled flat roof establishes a sense of casual modernism with calm, clean lines and simple sculpted forms.

In addition to this, the shape of the house and the location of spaces maximize indoor – outdoor connections in two directions. To the North, the rooms aim towards the water and the mountain beyond. The upper deck seamlessly connects to the inside and terraces down to the lagoon deck, creating two places to enjoy. While to the South of the main living area is a three-sided courtyard planned as an outdoor room with views to the west and back through the house. The kitchen, dining, and living room are open and connected as a “free plan”. While the bedrooms and family room zoned to one side and distinctly connected with their own hallway. Aside from the master bedroom, there is a guest bedroom and a bunk room for the kids.

Surely, with the sophisticated architecture design, high end amenities and prime location, this home is a truly ideal dwelling to relax and enjoy the life for it’s owner.

Dune House, an ideal retreat by Cass Calder Smith Architecture + Interiors

The lower deck and floating dock mainly serve the launching of boats and boards and have a firepit and jacuzzi to further enjoy being near the water.

The living room seating is custom-designed to fit the space, make the most of the views, and draw the family together.

Ceiling heights modulated based on the hierarchy of spaces, hence highest for maximum spaciousness at the waterside living areas and master bedroom.

Key materials include concrete floors with radiant heat, painted sheetrock walls, and wood ceilings.

Text by the Architects: This new house located on the lagoon within the community of Seadrift in Stinson Beach is for owners with two teenage children. Indeed, as a 2,100 square-foot weekend house, it meant as a family gathering place for casual dwelling, recreating, entertaining, and connecting with nature.
