Located in Larkspur, California, USA, the Turner Residence was designed in 2013 by Jensen Architects. This new residential design was created with a fundamental relationship in mind, between the family of three and their wooded community. Nestled into the hillside, the long, solid plinth contains the private rooms of the house. Atop this plinth sits a transparent living and dining pavilion that opens up completely for access to the outdoor decks, pool patio and expansive views to Mount Tamalpais and the bay. An elegant structural solution allows the views to be uninterrupted by perimeter sheer walls. The majority of the site is left undeveloped with its forest of native oaks intact. The residence uses quadrilateral shapes of all sizes to create a living space that’s at once booth indoor and outdoor.
