Architecture Design of Seacliff House

Description About The Project

Seacliff House designed by McClean Design is a masterpiece of coastal design. A restrictive height limit, combined with the need to preserve views from neighboring properties on all sides, constrained the location and size of the upper floor. This resulted in a three-level home with the primary living spaces on the top floor, the entry and master bedroom on the ground floor, and additional bedrooms below, overlooking a steep slope in the rear yard.

Due to limited space, the main living area was streamlined into one functional space, with the kitchen separating the dining and living areas. The kitchen features a full-height cabinetry wall in white glass and a glacier white marble island that provides ample seating and cooking space. The room is wrapped in glass on three sides, enhancing the sense of volume, while sliding Fleetwood doors fold back to reveal a large entertainment deck with lounge and barbecue areas.

The entry is approached through a walled-off courtyard and leads directly into a family room that focuses on the courtyard and its water feature. The master bedroom offers views of the waves below and includes a unique combined closet and bath with elegant Italian closets and fixtures. On the lower level, three bedrooms and a family area open onto a terrace with views of the garden below. The house’s palette reflects its beachside location, with light walls and soft limestone and oak accents complemented by glass elements.

Text by the Architects: A long and difficult planning process added to the challenge of designing this home. A restrictive height limit plus views from neighboring properties that needed to be preserved on all sides limited the location and size of the upper floor. This resulted in a three level home with primary living spaces on the top floor, entry and master bedroom at the ground floor and additional bedrooms below with views out over a steep slope in the rear yard.
