A House Near Water

A wall of translucent panels along the south side of the long, narrow pool courtyard provides privacy without diminishing available natural light. Densely configured houses along the street strive to maximize their waterfront property, enjoying proximity to private docks along the lagoon, which typically is busy with recreational water traffic-- sailboats, crew, and kayaks. The Pacific Ocean is visible beyond a beach isthmus and causeway to the west. Phillip Spears Photographer
