Surfhouse, Hermosa Beach, California, USA

Photographer: Art Gray



The Surfhouse sits like an abstract block of weathered wood a few blocks from the Pacific Ocean in Hermosa Beach.



The site is incredibly small. Subtracting for setbacks leaves an allowable building area that is only 23-feet wide x 29-feet deep x 30-feet high.



The architectural concept maximizes space, light and views while also creating a sense of privacy and retreat for the owners, a young couple, on a busy beachside street.
