Cannon Beach Residence is designed by Nathan Good Architect with sustainability in mind. There are also solar-thermal tubes that provide hot water and a ground-source heat pump that warms and cools the air. The house is L-shaped and wrapped around Sitka spruce that’s 38 inches in diameter. Recycled materials were used during construction and the house is designed to last multiply generations.

It perfectly blends into the forested hillside thanks to its sedum-sprouting green roof. One side of the house has views of Haystack Rock while the other – views of the beach. A lot of windows provide the house with plenty of the natural light.

The 45m long pool form the center piece of Casa Kimball is one of its main features. Every room in the house has a view of the infinity edge and ocean beyond. Three different levels of platforms within the pool allow guests to lie flat in the water, sit and lounge. Using a deep blue slightly reflective tile, the pool’s surface changes color to match the ocean. Swimming in the pool out toward the ocean creates the illusion of being in the ocean itself, one sees nothing but the endless horizon where water meets sky.

The project starts from the relationship between a clear geometrical shape –like an artificial rock on the ground- and the irregular landscape on which it is built. The cube resembles the geological formations of the area. The house opens progressively to the sea from the ground floor to the upper floors, thus the connection with the exterior in some spaces is more restrained (as in ground floor) and then the house opens up in the upper floors. Interior inhabitation is privileged as a shelter in a severe climate, seeking to protect the inhabitants from the steady wind.

The interior spatiality is generated from simple geometric shapes that with complex operations produce different opening degrees to the wind, the sights, the sun and the activities. The bedrooms and a common area are placed in the ground floor, while social areas such as dining room, living room and kitchen are placed on the upper floor. There is also a terraced garden-roof with different levels that generate varied spatial situations both from the inside and in the outside and also allow the entry of sunlight needed in cold seasons. This relationship between the upper level and the terraced roof allows the creation of a special connection with the sea and to generate a higher social level that reinforces the implantation strategy of the house.

Universe Beach House is beautiful beach house design with swimming pool as houses roof was designed by Tatiana Bilbao, located on the pretty shoreline of Mexico. The structure was built more on the concept of a camp with separate interconnected rooms where you basically, enter one to exit another. Although it looks like a downside, it saves space and when you get to see the amazing outdoor roof pool, it suddenly changes your mind. Excellent to throw a few parties with all your buddies, the Universal House looks like the place we’d like to be this summer.
