This project started out as a remodel, but has developed to be more new that old. The owners purchased a spectacular ocean front lot in the established subdivision of South Casper, on the Mendocino Coast. It is currently under construction with a planned completion date of mid 2003.

Designed by Robert Ross Designs of Atlanta, Georgia, it maximized its ocean view by the use of a steel frame on the west side. This allows floor to ceiling Pozzi and Fleetwood windows.

A separate guest wing is on the east, connected to the main structure by the guest gallery.

Exterior siding is a mix of redwood shingle and 2x6 t&g clear, all heart redwood, installed with no exposed fasteners.

The interior will be trimmed out with custom milled and painted hardwood. Floors are Harris Tarket prefinished hardwood flooring, over hydronic heating. All counter tops will be granite or marble installed on imported German cabinets. Each bath area has its own tile and style.

The south side addition to the original structure includes a studio and a master suite with wall to wall glass and views. A Japanese soaking tub invites one to linger and relax.

This home will set a new level of finish detail for the area.
