The house consists of three building modules. Two modules contain the
Master Bedroom, Living Area, Dining Area, and Kitchen. These two modules
connect to the third, three Guest Bedroom module, with a covered deck
bridge. All three modules follow the original site topography, stepping
down and across the original dune. The buildings surround a small swimming
pool that now occupies a sandy hollow in the original topography which
separated the original dune. The design, shape and configuration of the
Gross Residence responds to, and incorporates, the original topography,
zoning height limitations, and sweeping views to create a contemporary
vacation home capable of entertaining many guests while maintaining individual
privacy for its inhabitants. |
