This contemporary Surfhouse design in California features an open roof, aims to open to the horizon views. This minimalist house designed by Xten Architecture. 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.
