Taller de Terreno Morada Escondida Pacific BCS | 21-1541

Hidden from view upon entry at roof-level, Morada Escondida offers dramatic ocean and mountain views spanning the vast desert landscape. The modern, minimal structure is made of monolithic cast-in-place concrete, anchoring it into the desert ridge. Its striking geometry affords ceilings up to 15 feet; the gently-sloped green roof sits atop glass windows that run the entire length of the home. Perforated steel shutters both shade and protect the glass. Quiet, grey walls of raw concrete create the perfect neutral setting for contemporary works of art featured in this Kevin Wickham architect home.Entering the house from the roof garden, visitors descend large, floating steps into a Zen courtyard.
