Oceanfront House | New Jersey
This oceanfront house was designed to embrace its spectacular setting along the New Jersey coastline.
With a long, uninterrupted glass wall facing the Atlantic Ocean, the house takes full advantage of its incredible views, creating a seamless connection between interior and exterior.
The front facade is dominated by expansive windows and sliding glass doors, allowing natural light to flood the living spaces and offering panoramic views of the ocean.
The house's proportions are sleek, emphasizing horizontal elements that mirror the horizon of the ocean beyond. The exterior is clad in a combination of concrete and timber, which provide a warm, earthy contrast to the cool blue of the water and sky.
On the side facing the public road, the house is more restrained, offering privacy and discretion. This side feature smaller, strategically placed openings to allow for glimpses of the surrounding neighborhood without compromising the home's privacy.
To ensure that the house fits harmoniously with its surroundings, the landscaping around the property is designed to soften the transition between the built environment and the natural one. A mix of coastal grasses, low-maintenance plants, and stone pathways leads from the house to the sandy dunes, preserving the natural beauty of the area.
Inside, the layout prioritizes openness, with large open-plan living areas that flow effortlessly from one to the next, each space framed by the ever-present views of the ocean.
