Porter Residence
The house that truly has it all. Set on Pleasure Point with expansive views of Monterey Bay, its curving “leaf” roof was lofted at full scale on a warehouse floor before we fabricated the structural components. The project began with a tied-back, shotcrete seawall — the drilling rig craned in over the house from the street. A fully green building, top to bottom.
